the poets awoke - curated by Kelly Krugman

A curation by Kelly Krugman, Curator and Cultural Worker at SAVVY Contemporary - The poets awoke / The poets awoke one morning / The poets awoke one morning to find / The poets awoke one morning to find that all their words had left them/ Fleeing into the blackness of night that had no end... // The poets turn to each other / Then turn to face the world/ To ask/ Who are we without our words?/ Without our silences / How do we witness? — excerpt from The Poets Awoke (2024) by m. nourbeSe philip, Tobagonian-Canadian poet, writer, and playwright
