Poetry has risen dramatically in popularity in the past decade amidst global political and ecological crises. Can art and poetry provide insight into issues of politics and the Anthropocene? How do poetics and theory relate to one another? In this Theory and Beer, we will be reading a prose poem by poet/critic Juliana Spahr and discussing how very personal expressions in various artforms might offer ways to think through issues of gender, feminism and ecological crisis.
