The Shelter of Stories in Uncertain Times Furious Flower Poetry Center

Description

"Pádraig Ó Tuama will talk about how stories open up the possibilities of understanding, peace and reconciliation, and belonging. In these uncertain times when the claimed values of this nation are bankrupt, the role of the poet is crucial in modeling truth-telling, social justice, and activism."

--Joanne V. Gabbin, moderator
