Join celebrated poet and lawyer Reginald Dwayne Betts and award-winning educator Melissa Alter Smith for a lively conversation about the art and craft of poetry and its intersection with activism. A MacArthur award winner for his work promoting the rights of people who are or have been incarcerated, Betts has authored several books of poetry, the most recent of which, Doggerel, shows us “how poems can be enlisted to radically disrupt narrative” (Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker). Betts will discuss his own story, his approach to writing, and how one might teach a few of his poems.
