Joshua Marie Wilkinson on The Volta:
The Volta was hatched out of a couple things: I had been editing a journal called Rabbit Light Movies (poemfilms and videos of poets reading, online) and another journal calledEvening Will Come, which published poets’ short poetics essays, starting with C.D. Wright. Sara Renee Marshall and I decided to combine a number of these things—movies, essays, book reviews, interviews, poems, questionnaires—into one space and just call it The Volta.
This is how your brain will feel when confronted with all the beauty at the Chapbook Festival in New York City this May 3rd and 4th.
