Lauren Peat has a light skin tone, blue eyes, and a dark blonde pixie cut. She wears a brown turtle neck sweater and small hoop earrings. She is looking to the side while sunlight shining through leaves creates spots of sunlight and shadows across her face.
“Words can make a minute stretch long, or collapse it into a pinprick. It’s a special kind of alchemy… I remember feeling as if the rest of the bus had melted away, and I almost missed my stop.”
The 1:52 train sustains a D major chord. I rehearse having no purpose inside night’s cargo of shadow. —Lauren Peat, “Freight Train”

Calvin Wharton has a light skin tone, and a light grey mustache and goatee. He’s wearing a tee shirt and sweater with glasses and a flat cap.
“There was a distinct pleasure in imagining strangers unexpectedly discovering and reading my poem”
Imagine you have lost connection to gravity, a condition that has developed so gradually you didn’t notice it was underway —Calvin Wharton, “Do This, Do That: Exercise 2”

Joseph Kidney has a light skin tone and wavy brown hair being swept by the wind. He’s wearing a cable knit sweater and looking to the side with the ocean in the background.
“I’m very grateful to be a part of Poetry in Transit, in part because it means that I am stepping forward more directly into the modern conflict between art and advertising.”
What could be stranger than looking from a cliff at animals flying beneath you? Perhaps the dead observe the living this way —Joseph Kidney, “Mori Point”
