Eugenia Leigh: Proclaim a Rising

Eugenia Leigh introduces poems that speak from a particular moment into our own time, offering possibility amidst struggle. She shares John Murillo’s engagement with resistance and reality (“Enter the Dragon”), Monica Sok’s truth-telling about genocide (“Tuol Sleng”), and Angel Dominguez’s joyful protest against capitalism. Leigh closes with her poem “This City,” which ends with renewal.Watch the full recordings of Murillo, Sok, and Dominguez reading for the Poetry Center on Voca:John Murillo (April 22, 2021)Monica Sok (February 13, 2020)Angel Dominguez (August 3, 2023)Full transcripts of every episode are available on Buzzsprout.
