Join Poetry Daily Editorial Board member Brian Teare for more poetry and conversation about ecopoetics with our third international panel of authors and activists.
"Daniel Levin Becker’s new book, What’s Good (City Lights), argues that American hip-hop, wrongly praised and put down as an 'authentic' form of expression, a 'street' idiom, is both levelling and exalting; it has renewed the language of American song by broadening its resources and sharpening its ear."
"And this is precisely where poetry and poetic communion shelter me with hope without optimism; where, in the different languages inhabited by beings with whom I share the air and water of this planet, we come together in longing for and choosing another way of interweaving, of searching inside ourselves for new ways to reverse this disaster."
