    Starting from Nina: The Poetic Soul of Paulo Freire
    (Canadian Association for the Study of Adult Education (CASAE)., 2023) Hall, Budd L; Barndt, Deborah; Jackson, Edward; Martin, D’Arcy; Thomas, Barbara
    This collaborative, co-authored article by Budd Hall, Deborah Barndt, Edward Jackson, D’Arcy Martin and Barbara Thomas explores the poetics of the work of Paulo Freire, the legendary Brazilian philosopher and educator. All five authors are themselves poets or people who have used poetry in their work as adult educators and facilitators of social justice. They believe that this is the first English-language publication of the poem “Recife Forever,” written by Freire himself about the city of his birth. It was written in Chile during his years of exile by the Brazilian dictator.

    Light against the darkness: Poetry and social movements
    (2006) Hall, Budd L
    This paper grows out of a public talk and poetry reading that Dr. Budd Hall delivered in New Delhi in February 2006 and examines the deep historical relationship between poetry and social movements across cultures and centuries. The paper traces how, through history, people fighting for change have utilized poetry as a tool of resistance, solidarity, and political expression. Hall moves across languages, continents, and centuries to show this, bringing in voices from Canada, Chile, Iraq, Bangladesh, Somalia, and the Indian subcontinent, from Neruda and Atwood to K'Naan and Mallika Sengupta. The paper does not argue that poetry wins wars or rewrites policy. Instead, it argues something quieter and perhaps more lasting that in the darkest political moments, poets keep showing up, and that this itself means something.
