Abstract
Brief excerpt from interview: I have been always written about place. One of my current projects is looking at a city that was called 'The Dream City' on Maui. That made me think about how I think about home. All the conversations about who belongs here and why, and how you belong. It's not 'either or.' I think the better question is how you belong here. There are so many poets pushing the idea of belonging and home especially. My students had such diverse experiences of what home is. Home is connected to family, connected to violence and to love. The way that place became alive in my class, I feel so privileged to be able to help guide these students. I wanted to put this course together because thinking about that relationship between poetry and place has changed my life.
