What can ritual teach us about poetry?

 Using the anthology Poetry as Spellcasting: Poems, Essays, and Prompts for Manifesting Liberation and Reclaiming Power, we will create and dream poem-rituals and spells together as freedom maps for ourselves and our communities.

The anthology brings together contributors like Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Amir Rabiyah, Hyejunk Kook and many others, to explore the ways poetry and ritual can, together, move us toward justice and transformation.

Writers, organisers, spellcasters and everyone in-between welcome.
