Whereas: The Poet Confronts Occupation
The Rosenbach, 2008–2010 Delancey Place
In this public workshop, engage with poems from the piercing, award-winning book Whereas by Layli Long Soldier (Oglala Lakota) alongside historic printed copies of broken U.S. treaties (1824 to 1869) from the Rosenbach’s collection. Learn more about the treaties, and take part in a creative writing session that will include explorations of the personal and lasting impacts of the occupation of language, body, and land in Long Soldier’s work.
