When I grow up, I want to be... a Corporate Poet.

That's not a direct quote, but it is a current reality for Seattle poet, Mimi Allen.

As she queries in her Adopt-a-Poet manifesto, "How are artists to change the world if they do not have a face in the workplace?"

Her first "job" is at Seattle's NBBJ. Brilliant. Every other architecture firm in town will be wishing "they had thought of it." It's a great experiment and I can't wait to see what happens next. In the meantime, I'm going to see if I can schedule an appointment with at her new office. Film at 11...

UPDATE
The games have begun at NBBJ - go here. Now.
