About Me

Blog This Rock
Blog This Rock is a community forum sponsored by Split This Rock, an organization that calls poets to the center of public life and celebrates and promotes socially engaged poetry. You are invited to our nation’s capital for our next poetry festival in March 2016. Split This Rock Poetry Festival will feature readings, workshops, panel discussions on poetry and social change, youth programming, films, parties, and activism—a unique opportunity to hone our activist skills while we assess and debate the public role of the poet and the poem in times of crisis.
