politics of hunger

I attended the poetry reading some time ago called politics of hunger. I wasn't sure quite what to expect out of the reading and what sorts of poems people would find to fit the topic. It ended up being really interesting. I think the aspect of the reading that makes it the most memorable for me is the fact that it was on the Wednesday the day after the election. Everyone who read just could not say enough about the change that is happening and how our country is heading in a new and good direction. There was a great variety of people reading, some professors, community members, and students. There were two separate people who read in different languages, which bothered me at first because the majority of the people, myself included, couldn't understand, but I ended up liking it. These people were sharing how they felt about politics of hunger, using who they are to get it across. It also sounded really beautiful, especially if I just closed my eyes and listened. Another man went up and read an ars poetica, which is funny because we started talking about them the next day, or very soon after. I remember that he went up and said that he thinks that everyone should have an ars poetica. Well, I will have a completed one very soon.
