by Elizabeth Bradfield (editor), Alexandra Teague (editor), Miller Oberman (editor)

An anthology that celebrates the power and synergy of poetry and art in public spaces, "Broadsided Fifteen Years of Poetic and Artistic Collaboration" will inspire writers, artists, and all who seek ways to bring poetry and art to their communities. Featuring work by Jericho Brown, Douglas Culhane, Jill Ozier, Danez Smith, Joan Naviyuk Kane, Millian Gian Pham, Ilya Kaminsky, and more. Fifty broadsides, fifty conversations about the nature of collaboration, and inspiring photos of words and art posted on streets and byways around the globe. "The many moving examples collected here comprise a rich body of work that transcends the bounds of individual authorship by presenting cooperation, dialog, the blending of sensibilities, the profound combination of image and word." — Mark Wunderlich, author of God of Nothingness "This book is at once beautiful and useful, which is to say that it is a necessary object. The collaborations are in turns beautiful, sweet, devastating, comical. And—invaluably for the student or instructor of poetry, art, or the art of collaboration—the book publishes the author-and-artist answers to questions that yield insight into working their surprises and delights." — Tina Post, English & Theater and Performance Studies, University of Chicago
