Poetic exchange refers to a collaborative or dialogic practice where two or more poets respond to each other’s work through verses, letters, or performance, creating intertextual conversations that explore reciprocity, influence, and the social dimensions of lyrical expression.

John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley exchanged sonnets on poetic ideals; Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning’s courtship included poetic letters; In “The Waste Land,” T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound engaged in editorial poetic exchange; Contemporary poets like Ocean Vuong and Danez Smith engage in dialogic verse on identity.
