Facebook LIVE Prison Abolition Poetry Reading

Описание: The Poetry Vlog is a YouTube Channel and Podcast dedicated to building social justice coalitions through poetry, pop culture, cultural studies, and related arts dialogues.

Season 1 debuted in Fall 2018 and Season 2 in Winter 2019. After a June 2019 break, Season 3 will be funded by an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Summer Fellowship, with training and support provided by the Jack Straw Cultural Center's Artist Support Fellowship.

Full episodes include guests that range from unpublished and poetry-adjacent community stake-holders, to award-winning poets and scholars, to C. R.'s own students. The Poetry Vlog across its distribution channels believes in the worlds we can build through dialogue-based knowledge production, supporting open access scholarship, community-based research, and accessible pedagogy.

About: In this episode of The Poetry Vlog with C. R. Grimmer, Winona State University Professor MaryJo Klinker’s Class, WGSS 374 joins us for a mass incarceration education and prison abolition poetry reading. I used equipment provided by The Mellon Foundation to Facebook Livestream with the class, reading Prison Abolition and Anti-Racist activist Marilyn Buck’s poem, “Wild Poppies,” and Black Trans activist, state rep, and abolitionist Andrea Jenkins’s poem, “Eighteen.” While I read, The Winona State students type in incarceration statistics, especially related to trans and queer womxn who identify as LGBTQIA+. At the end, we link to external partnerships so you can not just read and learn about the prison industrial complex, but also ACT. #blacklivesmatter #abolishprisons #lgbtqia #transpoets #queerpoets
