<p>Listen to my live poetry performance at the Wofford College JJR Auditorium before family and friends, also broadcast on Instagram live! I read and offered the context of my favorite handful of poems from my writing in the past year, covering topics ranging from the romantic nature of Jesus' relationship with me, my anti-pornography stance and story behind it, racism in the American south, and the Charleston Emanuel AME Nine.</p> <p><a href="//elizawritesthings.com">elizawritesthings.com</a></p> <p><a href="//instagram.com/elizawritesthings">@elizawritesthings</a></p>

<p>CONTENT WARNING: sexual assault, white supremacy, and capital punishment</p> <p>Join me for a reading of my original poem, "Electric Chair Blues," and discussion of how the death penalty is informed by white supremacist narratives, racist history in America, worship of pride and power, and a misunderstood ethic of what law and order should be. I cite Bryan Stevenson's "Just Mercy" and the studies of his legal counsel nonprofit, the Equal Justice Initiative, for information on why the death penalty is unhealthy for our country.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Buy the book: <a href="https://bookshop.org/books/just-mercy-a-story-of-justice-and-redemption/9780812984965">Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson</a></p> <p><a href="//eji.org/issues/death-penalty/">eji.org/issues/death-penalty/</a></p> <p>If you are an Apple Podcast listener, please leave a review of my show!</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elizawritesthings/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@elizawritesthings</a></p> <p><a href="//elizawritesthings.com">elizawritesthings.com</a></p> <p>Music: "Beer Belly Blues" by John Deley</p>
