In this mini-series, we will explore the magic of poetry as a space for self-discovery. Through experimenting with different points of view, portraits, place-making and persona-making, we will rediscover about ourselves and others. We will look at the works by Alex Dimitrov, Andres Ordorica, Anthony Anaxagorou, Joelle Taylor, Wayne Holloway Smith, Gboyega Odubanjo, and Hala Alyan.
