My poem, “Figs,” which was originally featured in Shenandoah earlier this year, is part of a new feature in The New York Times called “America 2020, In Vision and Verse.” The NYT editors say of this feature, “It’s been a year unlike any other in living memory. We selected five poems by contemporary American poets and asked five photographers to let the poems inspire them.”
“Figs” was interpreted by Atlanta-based photographer Wulf Bradley in to a series of stunning self-portraits, one of which I’ve featured below.
