Fact-Simile Trading Card

The Fact-Simile final season of poet trading cards is out in the world, and I'm rounding it up in the best possible company- with Fred Moten and Claudia Rankine. My design is a riff on Mike Piazza's Topps 1994 baseball card.

JenMarie and Travis MacDonald continue to traffick poetry through the world in its most interesting and creative forms.

You can see the entire set of cards here.

It's Time at Academy of American Poets

"A few years ago, I was involved in an accident that impacted my memory in troubling yet interesting ways. It's Time is a project that explores the subjectivity of time, memory, and the wider implications of how the momentary is perceived."
