Concerned with climate change and how we mediate life via images, they reflect a belief in relationality and process as a creative tactic for navigating both poetry and the current moment. From swans, snails, and clocks, to polar bears, grief, and airports, the poems reenact a perplexing and uncanny world. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWritten in a poetic voice belonging to neither individual poet but corresponding to aspects of both authors, the poems consider the environment (both psychological and natural) and how through engaged, creative connection, we can be collaborators. Both humans and nature are, after all, a kind of “wetware.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe poets used three provocations, such as quotations, visual prompts, and phrases gathered from their peripatetic, multidisciplinary lives to seed a prompt for a poem. Sometimes these triangles of association yielded multiple poems. The authors then traded these “triangle poems” and during the joint editing process a recognizable tone and timbre emerged.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTake Rain\u003c\/i\u003e addresses difficult topics with liveliness, surprise, and absurdist humor, and proves collaboration can help. Short enough to allow readers to dip in and out, but intense enough to transport them from daily life, these poems practice what they propose: They were created from a place of convivial sharing and trust. What grew from this “artnership” is a unique third voice that surprised both authors.","brand":"a misFit book","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48897941078271,"sku":"9781770419209","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781770419209","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
