This collection of student poems is the first in what I hope will be a series of poetry anthologies to come out with the English Department. The poems were written by students in my poetry workshop and activist poetry class at Tübingen University, 2021-2022. Though they are poems that connect with class discussions and the creative dynamics of the ‘workshop’/gathering, each poet has made poems out of their own interests, commitments, readings, drives, poetic language and purpose. There might be overlap in ‘subject’ and even ‘concerns’, but each poem is its own poem, and each poet speaks out in distinctly different ways from their fellow poets.
