How do you maintain an artistic practice while being in a leadership role like poetry editor at a publisher, founder of a literary journal, executive director, or senior poetry consultant for a major poetry festival?

Opening with a reading of their work, they will then participate in a conversation about their varied roles championing literature, challenges they faced, and ways to get involved in the literary community.
