The Longest Poem

This was for the online site of the Poetry Foundation, a story about an online site that was constructing the world's longest poem. The editor was Ed Park, who is one of those blessed editors who steps back and lets you get to work with a sympathetic text. This was a felicitious gig for me because several years later, Ed asked me to fully illustrate a steampunkish, romcom-ish novel for Penguin/RandomHouse, "The Gentleman", by Forrest Leo.
