“Dear Johnny”
Collaborators’ Q&A: Poet Angela Veronica Wong: I think that the artistic response showed me how much of the poem has imagery of parting, of coming together, of lifelines and the uncertainty of reaching out. Artist Meghan Keane: I liked the blood image and the map image. That never changed. I like the idea of a map-like painting that created its paths through the “spaces.”
Poet Angela Veronica Wong‘s Dear Johnny, In Your Last Letter was selected by Bob Hicok as a winner of the 2011 Poetry Society of America New York Chapbook Fellowship. Artist Meghan Keane is a teaching artist at Kentler International Drawing Space and a visiting alumni artist at the Brooklyn College art department printshop.
