A bit more information about the project
Poet Laureate of Maine, Julia Bouwsma has created a Maine-wide epistolary poetry project
When was the last time you wrote someone a letter? Or received one? When was the last time you truly communicated with someone you didn’t already know?
Letters are a vital ritual of connection, a communication that extends beyond the words or message themselves to encompass an entire range of sensory experiences.
An epistolary poem is a poem that is also a letter. The epistolary poem remains a powerful and captivating poetic form—and one that seems particularly crucial to our present moment, in which the intimacy, community-building, and grounding, physical aspects of letter writing can provide us with much-needed antidotes for social polarization and isolation.
