Houston DSA Author Talk with Mark Nowak

Mark Nowak, poet, founder of the Worker Writers School, and author of Social Poetics (Coffee House Press, 2020), joins the Houston DSA Arts Collective and Political Education Committee for a discussion of cultural organizing and its role in building socialism. The event will include a reading, moderated Q&A, and open discussion. Come join us September 17 from 7-8:30PM.

Nowak’s Worker Writers School is a cultural organizing project that holds poetry workshops for labor unions and other leftist and working-class organizations. His new book, Social Poetics, chronicles the neglected radical, working-class history of the poetry workshop, while also exploring the possibilities of socialist cultural organizing in the present.

The event will be over Zoom. Please RSVP here: https://houstondsa.org/event/political-education-and-arts-collective-author-talk-with-mark-nowak/.
