Still must the poet as of old, 
In barren attic bleak and cold, 
Starve, freeze, and fashion verses to 
Such things as flowers and song and you
;

Still as of old his being give 
In Beauty’s name, while she may live,
Beauty that may not die as long 
As there are flowers and you and song.

To Kathleen, Edna St. Vincent Millay

while accounting for … grief

For Freedoms: Where Do We Go From Here? …is in hand. (p. 122, 123).

Our fall campaign Where Do We Go From Here?
is a sweeping initiative aimed at inspiring more compassionate civic discourse and action, leading up to the 2024 election, at a time of extreme political polarization.

To survive, we must be visionary, not reactionary. 

We must be unified, without being uniform. We must let questions sharpen our view of the past,
of the present, and of the future.

[…]

Our first book, published by Phaidon/Monacelli, is now available! Join us to celebrate and reflect on our nationwide billboard campaigns 2017-2023 and more broadly, the necessity of creative civic action with artist collaborators.

For Freedoms

while accounting for tides, currents, grief

drift numbness
sudden storms of pain
unexpected joy

to reckon is to believe
something true

Dead Reckoning, Hyejung Kook


Israel burned people, including Shaban al-Dalou. Senseless destruction of life, at least 42,000 people had been killed in the war so far. Too many of them are children. Too many of them journalists.

“what I am saying right now is secretly built over

              a love poem, the fossils of a cupola,

pink buildings with red hyphens and dashes

              and three red dots …” (Alexandria Peary, The Architecture of a Love Poem)
