Abstract
Sixteen poets tell us about the verses and books they are reading, or that they hope others seek out.
Even as much of the world is still reeling from the coronavirus pandemic, people across the United States have taken to the streets, calling for racial justice and an end to police brutality. We asked 16 poets, including Rita Dove, Kwame Alexander, Joy Harjo and Arthur Sze, about the poets and poetry they’re reading in this time of upheaval.
