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
