“Third Crescent Moon”
Collaborators’ Q&A: What surprised you about this experience? Poet Leslie Chang: Collaboration in this case meant offering up my poem to the artist and surrendering the exact images I had in mind when making it. I was surprised by how close the details in Caleb’s piece are to what I imagined. But more fantastic, which is good. I am enamored of the blue horse.
