Earth Day Collaborative Poem: "time bending / tongue / entwine / the betwixt"
In honor of Earth Day, we invited four poets to collaborate on a new poem that conveys our interconnected struggle for environmental justice. The collaborative poem is inspired by Cecilia Vicuña's ongoing “Quipu of Encounters” workshop series and her poem "Three Fragments of Instan." This collaborative poem project is presented in partnership with the Guggenheim Museum.

He did a lot of namedropping in his poems, didn't he? Holy Kerouac! Holy Burroughs!! *rolls eyes*
Genius. This, I think, is a poetic creation greater even than HOWL: it belongs with the greatest meditative poetry of the English language.
pretty
Allen G never stopped exploring never stopped caring never stopped being
A true master poet. I love his works, and now I love his reaching. I am so sorry that I just discovered him after his passing
His voice is so calming- amazing poem
Love this poem!!
We give because it creats us! Thank you Poet Alberto with respect. I did translate four of your great poems into Arabic language.
Wonderful and disturbing - thank you!
Kerouac and Burroughs are still better, but Ginsberg is legendary right behind them.

A mother's Love there's no greater Joy airplane. I was selfish you see only thinking about my pain. If I can lay in her lap again. The heartbreak. I listen to trees I talked to birds. The King of random piece. But if I could feel her loving touch I wouldn't have to do that so much. What does pain go away. For I need her in my arms to stay. seagrave got me wrapped around his finger. From Love. And trauma had me delusional in the grave. But I realized what was happening to me.. it seems I can't stop.. you see I looked for love underage branch. I felt love again in a single glance. Put all my childhood trauma and pain add my heartbreak of love Kane Brown again. Will I still feel the pain of it all. I'll try to keep my sorrow locked away imperial deep in shades of grey. Vote for the future I have a few. Will my ending be brand new. I went a little insane so I have to check the timer on my brain. You see I want to prosper and grow as a woman. But I'm in a child of State. Can anyone relate.
I wrote this poem before I could hear your poetry. Hope you like it. I love trying to discover myself through poetry.

Dickinson's complete works.

He's a unconscious troll.
This is one of my very favorite poems. It speaks directly to my heart. And what an absolute joy to hear Galway Kinnell read it!
this reading is so cute
We love Chicano poets.
Great poem that captures a California supermarket where the light is a little too bright. Also captures the loneliness of the poet, who imagines Walt Whitman nearby, although Ginsberg deals with that in a surprisingly funny way.
wow thank you adam tooze for this intro 👏

S.K.-Master of the dramatic lyric. Interesting how his poems glow even brighter these many years after his passing...
