Steven Espada Dawson will launch The Triptych Project, a poetry initiative aimed at addressing the realities of mass incarceration in Wisconsin, particularly the disproportionate impact on American BIPOC. The project will raise public awareness and foster creative expression for justice-impacted communities through three interconnected events: a public poetry reading featuring five emerging, justice-impacted poets; a workshop for twenty justice-impacted community members, led by a nationally recognized Black poet; and a radio-hosted reading of poetry written by incarcerated writers at Oakhill Correctional Institution.
