Because language is the only tool we cannot put down, we must harness its immense
power to re-imagine ourselves in these wild and fierce times. Using world-class poetry
let us wake-up, celebrate, praise, grieve, confront, grow and connect with
our deeper sources of creativity, insight, and courage.
I embrace emerging experience. / I participate in discovery. / I am a butterfly. / I am not a butterfly collector. / I want the experience of the butterfly. — William Stafford
“The first time I arrived at Dale's poetry performance the dust of the day was all over me. I was tired, my mind was flat, and I was thinking that I might be too spent for a thing like this. When it was over and I walked back to my car, I was alive with vision -- a new man with new eyes looking at a new world. It was like Dale had turned those poems into medicine.”
