Wearable Poetry
Czeslaw Milosz, Alejandra Pizarnik, Sappho, CAConrad, and John Berryman as inadvertent stylists...!
Hello! Today, I have for you five outfits based on five poems/excerpts of poems from five different poets. Yesterday was my birthday, so I wanted to indulge in my favorite aspects of outfit-making. The looks are based on literal, figurative, structural, and emotional interpretations of poems by Czeslaw Milosz, Alejandra Pizarnik, Sappho, CAConrad, and John Berryman. I’ll leave their interpretations open, as poems should be. Hope you enjoy!
