What do we inherit from the places our parents left behind?
Connecticut poet Rohanna Ssanyu Delossantos discusses her new chapbook, “The Marabou Who Crossed the Sea,” a collection inspired by her family's roots in Uganda and her own experience growing up between cultures.
We explore how poetry can serve as a vehicle to unpack family history, navigate questions of identity, and carry memories across generations.
Rohanna will be at the Pardee-Morris Museum in New Haven on August 9 for an afternoon of art and storytelling.
Guests:
- Rohanna Ssanyu Delossantos: New Haven-based poet, author of “The Marabou Who Crossed the Sea”
