Pictures from the Split This Rock Poetry Festival's Easter Sunday march on the White House. This is the culmination of the four-day poetry festival that gathered poet activists from across America and Europe. Poets from as far as Hawaii, France, and the Netherlands were in attendance.
We marched from George Washington University, where Naomi Ayala and Galway Kinnell delivered powerful poetry readings, to Lafayette Park. In the park, we delivered a collective poem to the White House - a cento with one line provided and read by each poet in attendance.
The event, which I hope to blog about in more detail, was incredible, beautiful, and inspiring. Split This Rock was the brainchild of Sarah Browning of D.C. Poets Against the War.
