“Exaltation”
Collaborators’ Q&A: Poet Lisa Allen Ortiz: Honestly, I was worried there would be a bee… So I was so delighted to see Karen’s take on the poem, in which she captured the airiness and joyful disorientation that I feel the poem has. Artist Karen Cappotto: The breath of the poem inspires me and draws me toward it.
