To produce projects which require a wide-range of specializations–for example theater for Staging Old Masters or Alzheimer’s Disease for Let’s Look–the Pulitzer regularly partners with expert organizations. For A Marathon Metamorphoses, a public reading of a fifteen-book poem, the Pulitzer has united with the literary organizations River Styx and the St. Louis Poetry Center.

The St. Louis Poetry Center promotes poetry in St. Louis by various means, such as workshops, classes, and readings. A consultant for the Poetry Center, Lorin Cuoco, has orchestrated marathon readings in the past and met with Kress Fellow Hannah Fullgraf, Community Engagement Coordinator Lisa Harper-Chang, and Director Matthias Waschek for the designing of A Marathon Metamorphoses. She will also be a reader during the event.

In the following video, Cuoco gives her thoughts on A Marathon Metamorphoses. She also mentions that copies of the Metamorphoses will be being sold at the event. Those books will be provided by another team player, St. Louis local bookstore Left Bank Books.
