F3A Cartographers of an Inner Life
Other | Registration opens 9/2/2026 12:00 AM
American poetry of the 20th and 21st centuries often explores the unseen dimensions of human experience through nature, memory, identity, and moral choice. This collection brings together Robert Frost, Wallace Stevens, Theodore Roethke, Mary Oliver, Joy Harjo, and Li-Young Lee, six poets whose work transforms ordinary landscapes and personal histories into sites of reflection. Although shaped by distinct cultural and literary contexts, they share a commitment to examining an inner life and the ways individuals interpret, endure, and inhabit the world.
