Collaborators’ Q&A:Writer Zach Savich: Meghan Keane animated the sentences—rippling. I like the thing being born in the middle, already tethered. Artist Meghan Keane: I was inspired by the imagery: the sound of the press; the simple blackness; the yellow line; the repetition, numerical or not.

Collaborators’ Q&A: Artist Elizabeth Terhune: The poem has a straightforward, direct quality. The language seems plain, quiet actually. Yet it navigates through a difficult experience. Writer Zach Savich: …Elizabeth Terhune showed me the situation as simultaneously airy residue and posed solidity, lyric gasp and narrative oomph. In hers, I can see the central arm as coming from either figure, then I look closer—it is clear whose arm that is. This happens to me all of the time and is in the poem and it breaks my heart.
