Split This Rock Poetry Festival:

Poems of Provocation & Witness

Washington, D.C.

March 20-23, 2008

Join Jimmy Santiago Baca, Lucille Clifton, Mark Doty, Martin Espada, Carolyn Forche, Sam Hamill, Joy Harjo, Galway Kinnell, Naomi Shihab Nye, Sharon Olds, Alix Olson, Patricia Smith, and many other poets of conscience for a festival that celebrates our great tradition of poetry of witness and resistance.

Split This Rock Poetry Festival will feature readings, workshops, panels, films, parties, and walking tours – a unique opportunity to assess and debate the public role of the poet and the poem in this critical time of crisis. As citizens and artists, our obligation has never been greater. We call on poets to gather in our nation’s capital to forge a vision for a just and peaceful society, and to Split This Rock, as we read poems to one another and to the nation.

Cosponsored by D.C. Poets Against the War, Sol & Soul, and Busboys & Poets
