Exquisite Collaboration Project

* July 2023: The Exquisite Collaboration Project has moved to my Substack blog, In The Gloaming. Be sure to subscribe to the blog to receive notification of prompts and new poem postings.  it’s free to subscribe and read! *

This project is based on the Exquisite Corpse, a technique created by Surrealists in the early 1900s, in which participants add to a work one bit at a time, with no one seeing what the previous participants contributed. I’ve done this in my in-person creative workshops and I thought it would be a great way to spur some creative thinking and connect with others during the weird time of isolation that hit us all during the pandemic. What began as the Exquisite Quarantine Poem Project continues today as the Exquisite Collaboration Project, connecting people from around the world in creative communion.

You’re invited to participate! Head over to my Substack blog for the lastest prompt.
