Sophia Ordaz on Poetry, Plastic & Purpose

Bee Balm Presents is an opportunity for you to find a poem that enlightens, stirs, infuriates, wrecks, or comforts you—a poem that makes you wise. Come &amp; explore a poem that makes you better, either by guiding you inward toward the person you want to be, outward toward the light of others, or toward the arbor where those two places meet.
