( ) I can't resist illustrated books of poetry; the difference here is that the artwork was commissioned by the MTA, because the poems appeared on placards in the subway. Since the intention was a moment's contemplation for commuters, the poems are necessarily short, and not controversial. However, the poets are at least 85% 20th-21st Century, and women are well-represented. Thanks, Poetry Society of America! Thanks, MTA (one of the very few things for which, these days, we can thank you wholeheartedly). sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
It would have pleased Walt Whitman, that poet of urban motion, to envisionhis words coursing by electrified rail through a diverse, global city of 8 million souls.Since 1992, with the presentation of an excerpt from Walt Whitman's "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," the Poetry in Motion program--co-sponsored by MTA Arts & Design and the Poetry Society of America--has brought more than 200 poems, in whole or in part, before the eyes of millions of subway and bus riders, offering a moment of timelessness in the busy day. The poems are by an eclectic mix of writers, from Sappho and Sylvia Plath to W. H. Auden, Rita Dove, Seamus Heaney, Nikki Giovanni, Patrick Phillips, and Aracelis Girmay. Each of the 100 poems gathered here has, in sixteen lines or less, the power to enliven the quotidian, provide nourishment for the soul, and enchant even the youngest among us.
