A collaborative poem by two renowned poets, Vincent Katz and Andrei Codrescu.

Our exchanges quickly became an ongoing epic of care. It became also a store of reminiscences, activities and ideas that paid homage to the women we cared for, communiques and confessions that we would have liked them to appreciate" Andrei Codrescu…mehr
