Over the course of 3 months, WordXWord has asked poets of any ilk to apply their creative energy to three fraught words – diversity, equity, and (now) inclusion.

As we wrap up this series with INCLUSION, we recognize that it is difficult to pull these 3 words completely apart as they lean on each other for support. In addition, it seems unnecessary/counter productive to put a wall around inclusion. For this final event in the series anything even tangentially related to any or all things DEI is welcome. This is as close to an open mic as you’re likely to see from us.
