I recently participated in a project for Wunderkammer, curated by Kathryn Regina, called Writers as Kids:
Before writers were writers they were boxers, ballerinas and scarecrows. If nothing else, they were much, much shorter. When my friend Darah's husband posted a photo of her as a 9-year-old gymnastics star on her Facebook wall, I thought, did Frank O'Hara take gymnastics photos? Are there little league photos of Allen Ginsberg? Who wouldn't want to see those pictures?
That's why we've devoted the next two weeks to childhood photos of writers. Each of our participants was given the photo of another writer and wrote a short piece based on that photo.
Here is the piece I wrote about a picture of Sam Pink.
Here is the piece Sam wrote about a picture of me.
