Poetry is Politics

Through an autoethnographic poetry manifesto, the author makes the case for poetry as political, poetry as feminist practice, poetry as social research and autoethnography, poetry as the personal that becomes the universal, and poetry as visionary activism. The use of personal poetry engages the political power of poetry to present embodied, nuanced, and myriad scenes of marginalized and stigmatized identities.
