    At the recent AWP, author Claudia Rankine responded to a poem by Tony Hoagland called "The Change." Two documents at her website, AWP and Open Letter, pertain to their exchange and to her call for writers to write 1-5 pages about race:

    Hoagland's poem can be found here:

    Entries received by March 11, 2011, with "Open Letter" in the subject heading will be posted at her website the morning of March 15. The submission address is at the website. As it says in her instructions, please do not reference either Hoagland or Rankine in your writing but help construct a discussion around creative imagination and race.
