In addition, ARC's expansion of the Poetry & the Senses fellows program for spring and fall semesters of 2023 created an opportunity for us to collaborate with Indigenous writers who draw on Indigenous languages and aesthetics: Craig Santos Perez (Chamoru), Natalie Diaz (Mojave), along with ARC Director Beth Piatote (Nez Perce).
Throughout the year these three facilators worked with 20 poetry fellows chosen for their connections to Indigenous and endangered languages. The fellows included undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and community poets from UC Berkeley, University of Hawai’i (Perez); Arizona State University (Diaz); and the community-based Nez Perce writing collective, luk’upsíimey (Piatote). The theme of the year was Reclamation–Our ancient ocean. The fellowship year culminated in a gathering of 22 poets and facilitators for a 3 day gathering, hosted at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive and the Arts Research Center, and consisted of readings, workshops, and conversations. The Poetry & the Senses Program was generously funded by the Engaging the Senses Foundation.
