Question: Consider the roles played by creative writers as advocates, witnesses, organizers, eco-champions, and defenders of marginalized communities. At the intersections of environmental, social, racial, and gender justice, these writers, poets, and musicians bring light to relevant themes in their work, readings, awards, contests, and public protest. From the early Transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau in Walden to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, to the Native American stories of Louise Erdrich, there is a proud tradition and growing body of activist-writers. Peruse these collected poets and writers who address broad societal issues. Then, read excerpts or synopses, as provided, and let three (3) of these artists speak to you through their passion for speaking out!
