The seen world exists as two points––the world that it itself is, and the unseen world that the seen world reflects. Seeking to observe both these worlds, is what the act of poetry is rooted in, an interrogation of the spirit, which in reality is the spirit interrogating the self. This communion allows us to see the world around us more greatly which thus allows us to see the worlds within us more greatly, then allowing us to see even more greatly the world, and back and forth and back and forth, as is the character of conversation. For this session, Oregon’s Poet Laureate, Anis Mojgani will be sharing poems and facilitating conversation about the relationship of what it means to be in dialogue with the seen and the unseen.
