Poem Art Protest (with Marla Taviano)

In this episode of the Liberation is Lit podcast, we chat with returning guest Marla Taviano about our upcoming course, 'Poet to Publish,’ during National Poetry Month. We discuss the importance of self-publishing poetry, the personal and social impact of creative expression, and our efforts to combat book censorship. The conversation covers Marla's recent projects, including her unique poem art therapy and the influence of storytelling on social change. We use creativity as a tool for protest, connection, and transformation!00:00 Welcome to Season Two00:47 Catching Up with Marla Taviano02:37 The Power of Poetry and Protest06:14 Book Censorship and Marginalized Voices09:52 Creativity as a Form of Protest17:48 Introducing Poet to Publish20:30 Success Stories from Poet to Publish35:59 The Anti-Capitalist Nature of Art40:29 Closing Thoughts and Call to ActionPoet to PublishedApril CohortSelf-GuidedMarla’s BooksUnbelieveJadedWholePlease Cut Up My PoemsPoem Art TherapyWhat Makes You FartPoet to Published GraduatesUntil Now by Kerri LinkHonest Faith by Jeff LewisSurviving Child by L Carson WoodyLove and Other Forms of Heartbreak by Tayler SimonWhere to Find Marlahttps://substack.com/@marlatavianohttps://www.instagram.com/marlataviano/https://www.instagram.com/whitegirllearning/https://www.threads.net/@marlatavianoThank you for being part of the Liberation is Lit podcast!
