We're nearing the end of National Poetry Month at @The_Rumpus, but each remaining day will be beautiful! Today we have a "The Flag Eater" from Aaron Coleman, which you can read at the link below. You definitely want to give this one some attention.

Deeply Grateful to share this new poem of mine, selected for @POETSorg by @dlseuss : "South of the North, yet north of the South, lies the City of a Hundred Hills." And ever grateful, too, for W.E.B Du Bois and The Souls of Black Folk.

Overheard:

“Not interested in ‘defense of poetry’ argument. Poetry is a primal ancient force and art form. It has been here long before our individual lifetimes & will stay long after.

What we need is to defend ourselves *with* it. A tune to walk to as long as one still walks”

The Black Panther Party had an impact on US history and culture that far exceeded its relatively short lifespan and small membership. Let's talk about it in this episode of Crash Course Black American History: https://t.co/cJuhHnTZdO

One key note that didn't make this incredible and seamlessly edited (radio is magic) conversation: the idea of translation as transformation rather than reproduction comes from LAWRENCE VENUTI in his essay World Literature and Translation Studies!

[Aaron Coleman, PhD, MFA @AaronC_Poetry]

Thanks so much @NPR! Can Poetry Be Translated?
