West Hollywood City Poet Laureate Kim Dower (2016-2018) solicited lines from hundreds of community members in West Hollywood and weaved those words together into two citywide collaborative poems: “West Hollywood is for Dreamers” and “I Sing The Body West Hollywood,” The latter poem was turned into a five-minute animated video, which incorporates the poem as narrated by Kim Dower; artwork by local artist Miguel Andrisani; and music from Derek Monteiro, Audiomoe, and Aaron Colbert.
