hereas philosophy tends to use myth as a clarifying tool to render the world, and us within it, more intelligible by the grace and force of reason, poetry relies on myth and metaphor as matrix and co-creatrix for its spells and power. The Sarah Lawrence Language Exchange is a place for people from different parts of the world and different walks of life to communicate  their personal patterns of insights by drawing on their language skills and knowledge as poets and philosophers.

The aim of this initiative is an alliance between Philosophy and Poetry to the benefit of both. We extend an invitation to poets, writers, and thinkers to contribute with their work and inquiries to the Sarah Lawrence Language Exchange and enter the competition for the Campbell Corner Poetry Contest Prize.
