Poetry Tent

Join poets Lisa Olstein and C. Prudence Arceneaux for a powerful reading and discussion that explores the intersections of history, body, and voice. In Distinguished Office of Echoes, Olstein uses archival texts as raw material, transforming scientific and historical language through collage and erasure to illuminate new layers of meaning. In Proprioception: Poems, Arceneaux examines race, fear, sexuality, and the weight of responsibility in a world fractured by old hatreds and new uncertainties, capturing the urgency of simply breathing through upheaval.
