We are honored and thrilled to have Chelsea Rathburn, Georgia's Poet Laureate, join us for our sixth episode of Politics & Poetry.  Part one of a two part conversation, join us as we discuss the power of poems and political words to connect with others.  We'll also talk about the work of the Poet Laureate, Chelsea's approach to difficult conversations through poetry, and our collective experiences as writers and readers of personal stories that help us see ourselves in each other's shared experiences.
