Month: January 2025

Antioch MFA Program's Antioch Works For Democracy Initiative, Poetry is Democracy, was co-hosted by Program Chair Lisa Locascio Nighthawk, Core Poetry Faculty Cathy Linh Che, and Teaching Faculty Alistair McCartney. Six distinguished poets from the MFA student and alumni community—Jonathan Chou, Jessica Abughattas, Elena Karina Byrne, Shonda Buchanan, Grant Chemidlin, and Leonora Simonovis—read original poems responding to the theme, as well as selected poems by beloved poets. The readers also discussed their creative and research process for this event, the interface of the poetic and the political, the function of poetry in a just and inclusive democracy, and how poetry can question and expand democratic vistas.
