INNOVATIVE
Photo Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast
Alissa Quart is an accomplished poet who is not afraid to get her hands dirty with the stuff of life we all deal with. Quart's genius is spinning that chaff into art.
Alissa Quart’s fearless, innovative poems adroitly confront the stuff of contemporary life, from mass shootings to DNA searches to MRIs to abortion clinics to a baby’s fever. Some of her poems collected in Thoughts and Prayers, two of which are reprinted below, deploy the actual language of public figures, such as James Comey and, in a poem published here for the first time, the Trump-Ukraine whistleblower.
