helping us to care for the mind

A revolutionary collaboration about the world we're living in now

Poems generated from these collaborations are paired with reflections on the experience of collaboration and prompts for readers to use to generate their own poetry in relation to art. Art from Jonathan Thunder, a frequent collaborator with Erdrich, appears on the cover and in the book.
