The Poetry Vlog is a YouTube Channel and Podcast dedicated to building social justice coalitions through poetry, pop culture, cultural studies, and related arts dialogues.

Season 1 debuted in Fall 2018 and Season 2 in Winter 2019. After a June 2019 break, Season 3 will be funded by an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Summer Fellowship, with training and support provided by the Jack Straw Cultural Center's Artist Support Fellowship.

Full episodes include guests that range from unpublished and poetry-adjacent community stake-holders, to award-winning poets and scholars, to C. R.'s own students. The Poetry Vlog across its distribution channels believes in the worlds we can build through dialogue-based knowledge production, supporting open access scholarship, community-based research, and accessible pedagogy.
