Them Poems Alone Won't Save Us

🎙️ Them Poems Alone Won’t Save Us An immersive evening of poetry, music, and reflection Join us for&nbsp;Them Poems Alone Won’t Save Us, an exploration of poetry as a form of radical love and resistance, led by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.castleskins.org/creative-in-residence">Carmin Wong, Castle of our Skins’ Shirley Graham Du Bois Creative in Residence.</a> Carmin Wong is a Guyanese-born poet, playwright, and digital humanist whose work deeply explores themes of homeland, heritage, and community freedom. A dual-title Ph.D. student in English Literature and African American and Diaspora Studies at Pennsylvania State University, Carmin’s work has been recognized by the Academy of American Poetry and performed at leading cultural institutions across the country. Her plays and poetry weave archival research with personal storytelling, reclaiming lost narratives while offering a space for reflection and healing. In this 90-minute experience—part art gallery, part poetry reading—you’ll be immersed in Carmin’s antidisciplinary creative practice, where poetry, music, and dance intersect to create a powerful space for self-reflection and communal connection. Poetry alone won’t save us—but it can open the door to deeper connection and action. &nbsp; 📅&nbsp;Event Details: 📆&nbsp;May 24, 2025 📍&nbsp;Goethe-Institut Boston&nbsp;(170 Beacon St., Boston, MA 02124) 🎟️&nbsp;Tickets:&nbsp;$25 general admission | $10 students &amp; seniors | $5 Card to Culture Limited seating available—secure your spot today!
