Jabberwalking

Juan Felipe Herrera

Juan Felipe Herrera presents Jabberwalking as a kind of poetry made while moving through the world. Drawing inspiration from Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky,” the book invites readers to combine walking, talking, writing, drawing, and keeping a journal. Herrera, a former U.S. Poet Laureate, encourages poems performed in the moment and on the move. Biographical vignettes and black line illustrations accompany this playful exploration of observing, recording, and creating poetry in motion.
