Challenging the Currents

How can we resist today's colonial currents – entrenched in our history, politics or day to day discourse – that rushes and rages on? Anna Marie Sewell hosts Challenging the Currents featuring Emily Riddle, Marilyn Dumont and Rita Bouvier who share their powerful poetry that scrutinizes our painful past and problematic present while pointing a way forward.
