Rabbit 35

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe once wrote that ‘Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together.’ It reminds us that there should be a commitment and purpose behind any poiesis, or ‘making’. Poets, of course, are highly attuned to the powers of juxtaposition, how the building blocks of a poem (words, lines, stanzas, space) can be intentionally drawn together to productively rub against one another. This issue features architecture poems, guest edited by Ella Jeffery, by Adam Aitken, Damen O’Brien, Stuart Barnes, Rebecca Jessen, Ange Crawford and more.
