Make It True meets Medusario brings together poets from divergent languages, cultures, and aesthetics to create a…conversation…a fertile meeting place for ongoing ideas about poetry that might trouble the all too-easy academic labels and the subsequent segregation those aesthetic and political divisions cause within the larger, global poetry community. -From the book’s introduction by Matthew Trease
