Haki R. Madhubuti’s “Claiming Language, Claiming Art V,” can be read as an ars poetica that makes a powerful argument that much of the work of writing a poem, or creating any other work of art, takes place outside the bounds of the page; away from our desks, notebooks, and laptops; and occurs in community, in our relationship with the world and with others.
