On February 3, USIP hosted a conversation with conflict mediator, acclaimed poet and host of the popular podcast “Poetry Unbound" Pádraig Ó Tuama and bestselling author and Washington Post columnist Amanda Ripley. The discussion reflected on how poetry and language can capture the destruction of conflict, as well as how the arts can help build peace.
