Letter from the editor




Collaborate & Listen: Poetry Collaborations



You take the hand extended to you. You walk for a moment then begin a dance. Occasionally, you trip or step on a toe, but you laugh and continue on until you’ve finished your poetic collaboration.

I briefly mentioned collaboration last month, in regards to poetry stories. This month I want to expand on these poetry collaborations beyond poetic stories.



Paired or Team Collaborations


Paired and Team Poetry Collaborations: This is just a matter of how many are collaborating. How is this collaboration structured? Here are some suggestions:

-Assign parts

-Brain storm the whole piece together

-Take turns writing (example: Campfire Creatives here at WDC)



Unconscious Poetry Collaboration


Unconscious Poetry Collaboration: I coined this term, and basically what I mean is creating poetry with someone else, but they aren’t aware of the collaboration. Some examples:

-Found poetry: This is where you create poetry found in a variety of not your normally thought of as poetic places. For more information, click here: https://www.writing.com/main/newsletters/action/archives/id/2264

-Inspiration poems: This is when you take inspiration from another’s work, which can go beyond other’s poetry. This can be anything from a response poem (writing a poem in response to another poem), to writing a poem after being inspired by a work of art (Ekphrasis).



Cross Collaborations


Cross collaborations: This is where poets collaborate with others in a different media. Some examples are found below.

-Art (https://video.newyorker.com/watch/poetry-paint-toronto-canada-cleo-wade-poet-bar...)

-Photography (https://meanjin.com.au/essays/the-art-of-collaboration-poetry-and-photography/)

-Film (https://vimeo.com/129687793, https://www.eca.ed.ac.uk/news/students-work-poets-collaborative-film-project)

-Dance (https://dancingwordsblog.wordpress.com/dance-poetry-films/morbleu/)



Collaboration Poetry Forms


Here are a couple poetry forms that have historically been written as collaborations with at least one other person.

-Sedoka: Click here for more information - https://www.writing.com/main/books/action/view/entry_id/332440

-Renga: Click here for more information - https://www.writing.com/main/newsletters/action/archives/id/1853
