In the fourth session of the Global Summit on Repair, Reconstruction, and Restoration, Pádraig Ó Tuama leads a conversation with fellow poets Marilyn Nelson and Juliane Okot Bitek.
The poetry of Marilyn Nelson and Juliane Okot Bitek centers on questions of remembrance — on the level of a parish or town; up to the level of a country. During this session, Marilyn and Juliane read some of their poems and also discuss how they see the role of poetry in offering public language: language of pain, of remembrance, of lament, and of creativity.
