“There was a distinct pleasure in imagining strangers unexpectedly discovering and reading my poem”
Imagine you have lost connection to gravity,
a condition that has developed so gradually
you didn’t notice it was underway
—Calvin Wharton, “Do This, Do That: Exercise 2”

Joseph Kidney has a light skin tone and wavy brown hair being swept by the wind. He’s wearing a cable knit sweater and looking to the side with the ocean in the background.
“I’m very grateful to be a part of Poetry in Transit, in part because it means that I am stepping forward more directly into the modern conflict between art and advertising.”
What could be stranger than looking from a cliff
at animals flying beneath you? Perhaps the dead
observe the living this way
