Last year, poets from The Bridge Poetry Workshop explored the topic of wants and desires as they pertained to their own life. Their discussions turned into lines and the lines were written down on paper and the group of lines grew into the poem, "I Want! I Want!"
With the generosity of Judith Young-Mallin, her friend Robert Warner, curator and master printer of Bowne & Co., Stationers and Patricia Thackray, Founder/Director of The Bridge Poetry Workshop "I Want! I Want!" came to life in a publication which is in the museum collection at The Philadelphia Museum of Art as well as the Poets House which was gifted by Judith Young-Mallin in memory of Stanley Kunitz and his wife Elsie Asher.
The Bridge Poetry Workshop meets twice a week to read, critique, and most importantly, to write poems and experience what Bridge poet Gwendolyn Simms call "moments of composed sanity."
