Join us for a conversation about how art and poetr

Join us for a conversation about how art and poetry can help us reckon with the ugliness of our past, confront the moral cost of silence in the present, and recalibrate our language for a shared future.

What are we to do with the things we inherit? The names we are given? The language we are taught? The stories with which we are raised? These are the questions at the heart of Elizabeth Hughey’s White Bull, winner of the 2020 Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry. This new poetry collection is composed entirely of words taken from the correspondence and public statements of notorious segregationist Bull Connor, who was Commissioner of Public Safety for the city of Birmingham in the early 1960s.
