In this episode of the Liberation is Lit podcast, we chat with returning guest Marla Taviano about our upcoming course, 'Poet to Publish,’ during National Poetry Month. We discuss the importance of self-publishing poetry, the personal and social impact of creative expression, and our efforts to combat book censorship. The conversation covers Marla's recent projects, including her unique poem art therapy and the influence of storytelling on social change. We use creativity as a tool for protest, connection, and transformation!
