Poetry in Dangerous Times

<p><em>Poetry in Dangerous Times: Two Women Two Worlds </em>brings together two of America's most fearless literary voices. Demetria Martínez's and Susan Sherman's timely and intimate conversation spans decades movements and genres. </p><p></p><p>Part memoir part retrospective and wholly poetic this collection opens with a dialogue between the two authors. It then unfolds into a generous offering of new and selected poems from each. Martínez and Sherman explore the intersections of poetry and protest weaving personal testimony with political reality from the 1960s through the Sanctuary Movement of the 1980s to today. This is not just a poetry collection-it is a call to conscience.</p>
