The Collaboration

Poet Erin Dorney worked with the Adirondack Center for Writing (ACW) to expand the reach of the literary arts in the North Country/Adirondack region. The artist spearheaded the Wild Words Adirondack Teen Writing Anthology, publishing 140 teen authors; created two poetry capsule machines that distributed over 3,000 poems in various host locations including a bank, an ice cream shop, a movie theater, and a diner; and produced a series of four poetry broadsides, with writing, artwork, and printing all done in New York State.
