Exploring the borderlands of poetry & philosophy
About
Influenced by U.S. Indohispano theories of the borderlands and resolana, Petra Salazar, a poet and educator, launched Philopoetics in 2021 as a challenging learning space to dwell in curiosity and possibility—a space located between the traditional academic boundaries of philosophy and poetry. Philopoetics brings together contemporary philosophers and poets to create an alternative learning community that values emotions, somatic experience, and difference.
