Announcing the Million-Line Poem

See the Million-Line Poem in progress here!

a celebration of the collective poetic process, quite possibly the world’s first “open source” poem.

The Million-Line Poem is being written couplet-by-couplet by readers and writers around the world, and published online by Tupelo Press.

Each day we post two lines from which contributing poets draw their inspiration. All entries are assembled by an editor and posted for viewing the next day with the contributor's name and city.

You can participate in the creation of this art form as it grows organically, day-by-day. The nature of the poem — what it's about, its ideas, its subjects, its overall aesthetic — will develop over time. Your contribution will be part of that process and synergy.

The Million-Line Poem is also an easy way to support our work. There’s no charge to post your couplet, but keep in mind that small donations add up to big ones, helping us to publish the terrific writing already in production, and to continue in our mission to find and send out into the world more inspirational poetry, prose, and nonfiction.

The Million-Line Poem will culminate in a series of readings nationwide. Read about and participate in this exciting new project here.

Ilya Kaminsky’s “Author’s Prayer,” now a dual-language broadside

Tupelo announces the release of a gorgeous, limited edition, dual-language (English & Russian) broadside of Ilya Kaminsky's "Author's Prayer," (translated by Polina Barskova) from Dancing in Odessa.

Each numbered broadside was printed by hand on Rives Heavyweight, a French mould-made 100% cotton paper. Typesetting, woodcut, and printing by Josef Berry in Free Union, Virginia, January 2011.

Price, $45 dollars, or $55 if signed by Ilya Kaminsky.

Like Joseph Brodsky before him, Kaminsky is a terrifyingly good poet, another poet from the former U.S.S.R. who, having adopted English, has come to put us native speakers to shame... It seemed to take about five minutes to read this book, and when I began again, I reached the end before I was ready. That's how compulsive, how propulsive it is to read. It wraps you in a world created by a new and wonderful poet.

—The Philadelphia Inquirer
