When we say that poems and stories move us, we usually mean that they make us feel more deeply, or that they open us up to new knowledge or new ways of thinking. Alicia Partnoy, acclaimed poet, memoirist, scholar, and human rights activist and the author of the book, The Little School: Tales of Disappearance and Survival, which chronicles her abduction from her home in Argentina by secret police and her imprisonment and torture at a concentration camp, joins pioneering women’s studies scholar Amy Kaminsky in conversation as they discuss how poetry and storytelling are not just solitary practices. They are critical elements in the struggle for human rights, for survival, and for justice. They call on readers to become participants, to raise their own voices in solidarity.
