Poets—I’m putting together a series of online compilation CDs, and the first one will be for poems about gender. From deconstructing masculinity or femininity, to talking about gender privilege, to examining (and challenging) gender roles, to anything that relates to this general topic.
Poems can be any style—serious, funny, direct, abstract, etc. Be creative. Me and a small team will choose the poems that work best in the context of the entire project and then make the compilation available free-of-charge for use by social justice educators and anyone else who might be interested.
To submit, email one or more audio files (brand new stuff or old stuff, live recordings or studio recordings, with or without music—as long as they sound good) to me at elguante@gmail.com or send me a link to a track through SoundCloud or Bandcamp or whatever. DEADLINE: March 1.
This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Art has the power to frame social justice issues in a powerful way. There’s so much thought-provoking, high-quality work in our community, and I think consolidating some of it around specific topics will be a great way to reach out to new listeners. Let me know if anyone has any questions.
