What We Provide
The Shiner Study understands that words can change people's lives. By providing opportunities for everyone to create, experience, and share poetry, we strive to promote poetry and honor poets.

These exhibitions are free and open to the public. Utilize archival displays to inhabit poetry by locating both new and established poets within the visual and tactile material of their time.

Despite the fact that Swift is a major celebrity, her songwriting frequently focuses on relationships and insignificant events rather than her widespread fame. Midnights, on the other hand, is a departure because it depicts Swift wrestling more openly with her legacy, her public persona, and growing up and getting older in the spotlight.
Swift has examined the gendering of desire, violence, sex, societal expectations, and more in her most recent albums without hesitation. Midnights continues where the previous analysis left off and delves even deeper into the subject. For instance, in the song "Mastermind," Swift challenges the notion that women should be passive in relationships with a clever and playful ode to her own agency.
