In 2024, Tongo Eisen-Martin was named an Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellow. Eisen-Martin will create an intergenerational poetry workshop in which parents, their children, neighborhood elders, young adults, and everyone in between can write, learn, perform and expand their consciousnesses. Through writing together, participants will create a synthesis of their collective identities and move toward empathy, compassion, and ultimately celebration. Eisen-Martin’s project will contribute to the historical task of healing communities through the co-creation of intergenerational art.
