To celebrate the beginning of National Poetry Month and mark the one-month countdown to Pulitzer Arts Foundation’s reopening, poets Brandon Shimoda (Marfa, TX), Joanna Fuhrman (New York), Nicky Rainey (St. Louis), and Philip Matthews (St. Louis) will collaborate on an original poem using the Pulitzer’s Twitter account (@PulitzerArts). Composed as a dialogue of questions and answers, this poem will emerge over the course of the day and explore intersections of joy and seriousness in daily life. See below for the entire moment.
For more on the individual voices of the poets, follow them on Twitter at @brandonshimoda, @JoannaFuhrman, @philipandpetal, and @nickyrainey.
