Don't Be Scared

By Magdalena Zurawski

From the author: "Don't Be Scared is a poem/essay generated from my experiences in the classroom. It attempts to implicate the classroom itself in a longer narrative of modernity and democratic struggle and in that sense it deploys my academic 'upbringing' for political ends."
