From November 2020
This selection of Amtrak Poetry featured a trio of poems published by Copper Canyon Press: “Poem for My Love” by June Jordan, “Turn You Over” by Jericho Brown, and “OBIT” by Victoria Chang.
From September 2020
The second installation of Amtrak Poetry featured a trio of poems published by Graywolf Press: “We Lived Happily during the War” by Ilya Kaminksy, “in lieu of a poem i’d like to say” by Danez Smith, and “Top Ten Reasons Why Indians Are Good at Basketball” by Natalie Diaz.
From July 2020
We inaugurated the installation series with a single Ashbery poem—”Down by the Station, Early in the Morning”—stretching across the three glass wall vitrines. This poem, from A Wave (1984), invites us to imagine breaking through to new possibilities.
