With this poem, I had a group of students prepare a Hyperstudio project. There are probably better programs out there, but this is the one that I was trained in, so it was the one I used. I was trying to bring the energy from the poetry to the writing, but I did see some of it going back the other way. Getting over the idea that poetry is beyond you. Getting over the idea that a poet is a great mysterious person who has done something that you will never know anything about.
Poetry is pretty famously a lonely art.
That's why a lot of people feel collaboration can't be reconciled with that prized loneliness. I think I agree with Ezra Pound, though, that poetry should be something like the best conversation of our times.
