Dawn Lundy Martin: Our Present, Long Moment


Listen Later

Dawn Lundy Martin selects poems of urgency, tension, and devotion. She shares Daniel Borzutzky responding to massacres with a poem that must be written (“Written after a Massacre in the Year 2018”), francine j. harris negotiating what can be contained and what cannot (“in case”), and Ada Limón choosing astounding devotion ("State Bird"). Martin closes with an excerpt from “A Fable of the Regime,” which engages with the present, long moment of American history.

Watch the full recordings of Borzutzky, harris, and Limón on Voca:
Daniel Borzutzky (January 10, 2019)
francine j. harris (September 3, 2015)
Ada Limón (April 5, 2018) 

You can also enjoy Lundy’s performance as part of Black Took Collective and her participation in a panel discussion at the Poetry Center, part of the Poetry Off the Page Symposium from 2012.
