Verb Animate: Poetry and Prompts from Collaborative Acts Apache helping us to care forVerb Animate explores the nuances and joys of Erdrich's artistic collaborations with Twin Cities choreographers, visual artists, digital artists, and others. Poems generated from these collaborations are paired with reflections on the experience of collaboration and prompts for readers to use to generate their own poetry in relation to art. Art from Jonathan Thunder, a frequent collaborator with Erdrich, appears on the cover and in the book.
