"Some of these pieces represent years, years, of revision and hard work as the authors passed their poems back and forth, feeding off one another. Some of these were created two words at a time; some were written in series, in a call-and-response technique. Some of them were left, secretively, in sealed envelopes on each others’ doorstep for the other to find and respond to; some were created via e-mail exchanges that crossed continents, even oceans. One poet even, after much revision, traveled across the country to finally be in the same room with her collaborator, only to sit on the opposite side and continue the exchange electronically via separate laptops. Some of these collaborations were produced in longstanding group workshop settings. Some were even produced in recording studios. All of this to say: There is no end to the myriad ways in which collaborators can collaborate."
