Washington Post Opinion Piece: D.C.’s only poetry festival, Split This Rock
Festival attendee and panel organizer Katherine E. Young writes an opinion peice to the Washington Post regarding a recent article that mentions Split This Rock:
"Rather than concentrating on a page-poetry-vs.-Instagram-poetry spat within the poetry community, I wish the article had spent more time on the larger questions about the role poetry can and should play in our culture and had paid more attention to the work being done by poets — including most of those quoted in the article, who were in the District specifically to participate in Split This Rock — who gathered here last month to address those questions."
