“Can poetry be a form of social change? I don't know the answer to that. I do think art can have a social impact even if it may be difficult to see the effects of that impact, to assess or measure it.” ThinkingArtDifficultPoetry IsSocial Change Author:Dawn Lundy Martin
“I think the occupation of my poetry is akin to this desire to be many things at once - things that sometimes conflict. Regarding how the quotidian makes its way into the work, it's all of it, in a way. Like, when I'm writing poems, I'm just picking up scraps of whatever is happening around me - a geographical location, a love affair failed, the day the air felt like rope.” ThinkingWritingSometimesDesireConflictAffairPoetry IsLove AffairScrap Author:Dawn Lundy Martin
