What Sparks Poetry:
Rita Wong (Vancouver, BC, unceded Coast Salish territories) on Ecopoetry Now
"In the context of a colonized society that reduces freedom into superficial consumer choices or bluntly eliminates that freedom through systemic violence, writing can question unjust hierarchies and unthinking habits that need to be reconsidered. It can make space for the imagination to move swiftly as dragonflies at dusk, or as easily as otters floating affectionately together. It makes room for a world where every creature has a place, every life form matters." |

"Tupac Shakur’s Unseen Childhood Poetry"
"The writing in the booklet is a rare depiction of Shakur’s early talent for wordplay and lyricism....and deals with themes that he would go on to explore with his music as an adult including Black liberation, mass incarceration, race and masculinity."
