)

• ... that Sasha Stiles called her work A Living Poem "an infinite epic"? Source: Stiles has likened A LIVING POEM to an “infinite epic”—a mischaracterization of the genre.
  • ALT1: ... that Sasha Stiles' A Living Poem rewrites infinitely every sixty minutes? Source: Inspired by text-based art from the Museum’s collection, the poem rewrites and performs itself anew every 60 minutes.
  • ALT2: ... that Sasha Stiles' A Living Poem wants you to "take a breath"? Source: “Inspiration moves me. / I call it breath.” the opening couplet states, as readers are prompted to “TAKE A BREATH” in the next slide.
  • ALT3: ... that a poem from Sasha Stiles "remakes itself moment by moment, endlessly in flux, always becoming, never complete"? Source: Together, these elements form a dynamic language system, a poem that remakes itself moment by moment, endlessly in flux, always becoming, never complete.
  • ALT4: ... that each line in Sasha Stiles' A Living Poem can be traced to a specific Museum of Modern Art artwork? Source: Every line of text can be traced to a MoMA artwork that “seeded” it

• I take, will review in the next 48 hours.--Launchballer 13:09, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Both articles are long and new enough and the QPQ is a double. Earwig is clean. I was thrown by seeing a reference ending .ai, but it turns out that's a top-level domain for a country. No other issues requiring a maintenance template. ALT1 is the most interesting hook and I approve that one.--Launchballer 00:33, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Note: I would recommend changing the links in ALTs 1, 2, and 4 to something like "A Living Poem by Sasha Stiles" to make it clearer that there are two distinct links. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 02:50, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

I support the idea, which I'm surprised never occurred to me given my years at DYK, and will encourage the promoter to follow up accordingly. ミラP@Miraclepine 16:49, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
