We are honored and thrilled to have Chelsea Rathburn, Georgia's Poet Laureate, join us for our sixth episode of Politics & Poetry.  Part two of our 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 new project with Georgia Center for the Book, Georgia Poetry in the Parks, and other ways that our communities are joining together to enable artists to create and share their ideas, inspirations, and work.
