Click HERE to Register ART IN THE PARK 2026 Exquisite Corpse: One poem, Many voices Visitors to our table at the Art in the Park event were delighted (especially kids!) to add a line to our communal poem, using a vintage manual typewriter. Here are the results!   The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine And woke to a new reality Never mind the loose candy, the bright tie dye sun I know, you wish everyone could be like you But you are a shimmering jewel, not to be copies Shine brighter every day, don’t let your light dim Don’t go down in the dust Not without a fuss   We are all one Paper ink and time to think As the hourglass drops away The last remnants of hope fade The bluest smoke of all Tastes like mist and orangina Wait, I think I hear the call The sun on my back, like a memory of beach days gone by Sunny days nights filled with stars If I do not live in an hourglass then why does time slip So readily past by fingers like a cosmos of sand? Everything is going to be okay. They tell us.

This disparity is persistent and has challenging effects on literary arts nonprofits and on sustaining creative writers and literary culture. Philanthropy has a profound opportunity to make a positive difference by supporting and championing literature and writers.
