About this Poem

“I wrote this poem during a seven-day writing challenge with a good homie—shoutout to community. Objects have meaning even when they are couched in the banality of games. In the ‘Ars Poetica’ is a question worth daily consideration: what are we willing to do with language? Where are we willing to make, and unmake, with what we say?”
—Nabila Lovelace
