Poetry beyond the words.

We wanted to bring our community along with us through the journey of creating art alongside the poetry. Spending time with Myrna Keliher across the Puget Sound, we captured a few magical moments in her letterpresss studio in Kingston, WA where she handsets each print.

A sense of found poetry.

Continuing to pull the threads from featured poetry in Poetry Unbound, we explored motion alongside the reading of poems with a touch of music. Whether folks read or listen to the poem, this became another doorway we invited folks in to the world of poetry.
