Poets in the Boise State Creative Writing MFA program participated in “Finding a Way, a performance art piece by Kate Walker, a professor in the Boise State Art Department. As part of the piece, the poets read from works they chose in the Atrium of the Center for Visual Arts. This participatory project aims to create a shared resource of books, an online archive of readings and a space for reflection and shared imaginations.
This iteration of “Finding a Way” featured author Sarah Sentilles, MFA creative writing students, and other students and members of the public, who read in an “open mic” format based on the theme: What books give you solace, hope or deeper understanding in the face of current global crises such as climate emergency, war, increasing social and political divisiveness and continuing pandemics?
