about
the main concept I want to communicate through my poster series is a feeling of understanding and calm through a temporary escape to simpler times in childhood. my poster will exhibit the same feelings of present misunderstanding that these poets emote in their works, and highlight the importance of your roots and where you came from.

kamara writes about the stereotypes and stigmas she experienced in oakland, california. she uses blunt imagery to juxtapose a seemingly serene natural environment. although mostly writing about these painful experiences at home, kamara consistently highlights the never-ending (black) joy that she and those around her possess and embrace.
atkins was one of the first american poets to arrange type on a page to convey meaning, also known as a concrete poet. he brought his readers through his own experiences of his home through describing the sounds and views of the city, exposing its imperfections.
seymour utilizes imagery of the natural world of appalachia to create meaning, specifically drawing on the memories and lives of those who have come before her. Her poems are centered on themes of loss, family, nature, memory, culture, community, and geography, expressing the struggles of the people in her region.
