On August 15th\, Philadelphia police changed their story\, stating that Irizarry was actually in the car when he was shot six times. Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw stated that officers’ body-worn camera footage “made it very clear that what we initially reported was not actually what happened.” Read more about the details and legal proceedings here: \n(The Killing of Eddie Irizarry). \nMartín Espada recently wrote a poem entitled\, “Officer Mark Dial\, Who Shot Eddie Irizarry\, Will Be Fired for Insubordination” to elegize the innocent young man whose alleged murder this past August is an outrage. \nFatal Force : Poetic Justice contributors\, featuring Martín Espada\, will read their work virtually on February 17th to honor poet/activist\, Julia de Burgos’ birthday. She was the foremother for the Nuyorican Poetry Movement in New York who advocated for anti-imperialism and social justice.

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry: Remembering Audre Lorde
DESCRIPTION:Remembering Audre Lorde (1934-1992)\n\nSunday February 18\, 2024 – 2pm – VIRTUAL\nJoin us on Zoom (Registration Required): https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAvdeipqTsoHdwqmC1q3s_Nx34bh3KSabHn \nThe Black feminist\, lesbian\, poet\, mother\, warrior Audre Lorde was a native New Yorker and daughter of immigrants. Both her activism and her published work speak to the importance of struggle for liberation among oppressed peoples and of organizing in coalition across differences of race\, gender\, sexual orientation\, class\, age and ability. An internationally recognized activist and artist\, Audre Lorde was the recipient of many honors and awards\, including the Walt Whitman Citation of Merit\, which conferred the mantle of New York State poet for 1991-93. In designating her New York State’s Poet Laureate\, Governor Mario Cuomo observed: “Her imagination is charged by a sharp sense of racial injustice and cruelty\, of sexual prejudice…She cries out against it as the voice of indignant humanity. Audre Lorde is the voice of the eloquent outsider who speaks in a language that can reach and touch people everywhere.” Join us as poets remember.
