This panel featured Lou Cornum, Rob Arnold, and Tacey Atsitty. Poetry has long served as a powerful tool for resistance and reclamation. This panel invited an exploration of how experimental poetic forms, whether through hybridity, genre-bending, or documentary practices, can be used to challenge and dismantle colonial narratives. We explored work that engages with cross-genre innovation, multilingualism, archival interventions, and other strategies that disrupt dominant histories.
