Survival Is a Success of Sorts

Poetic Crossings 2025

An evening of sorting through the papers, the past, the places and people who have helped to shape our community and those that continue to contribute through words, letters, and action. In honor and gratitude, in a time when poems—where art—is one of our greatest tools to hold together our social bonds, our shared humanity, our sanity.

If poets are the namers of things, as has been suggested, then this work of naming has become, over time, ever more complex. Only by looking back can we observe how well we have named our times, our lives in relation to culture, community, and our place. So, this is an opportunity to look back at our own work, and that of others who have done well in this naming. What was accurate and what has stuck? An opportunity to celebrate, to grieve, to feel together what has come and gone, and what remains.
