Poetry and the Everyday Virtual Gallery

About

Online exhibition

An exercise in seeing the poetry that exists all around us...

This gallery features a collection of art created by students that responds to the questions: Through any medium of your choice, consider the ways you interact with poetry on a daily basis, if at all. For example, can poetry be found in nature? Are our conversations with one another in some way, poetic? Can poetry still truly influence societal change, in our contemporary moment, or is it primarily an isolated art form?

Explore the reflections and creative insights of Yale undergraduate and graduate students from different programs through their artworks presented in a variety of media and formats.
