A new artist and poet alliance in the works

paintbrushYesterday I submitted three poems for the newest incarnation of an alliance between The Mead Library Poetry Circle and The Sheboygan Visual Artists (at EBCO artworks in Sheboygan, WI).

Here’s more information from the call for submissions (limited to members of the groups listed above):

The show, called “Intersections: Art/Poetry,” will be one of their Final Friday events (moved up one week to avoid Good Friday) and will open on Friday, March 18, 2016, from 6-10:00 p.m., with one or more poetry readings during the evening (our reading was much too long in 2014, and we will have to shorten it). A meet and greet reception, for participating poets and artists only, will be held prior to the show’s opening, from 5:30-6:00 that evening.

The show will be on exhibit through April 10th. There will be daytime gallery hours (11-3:00) on these Saturdays and Sundays: March 19-20, April 2-3 and 9-10.

I’m happy to announce that books that include all the poems and the artwork will also be available for purchase on March 18, as well. The book from Making it Speak is beautiful, and I have no doubt this one will be just as lovely.

Mark your calendars for this visual and cerebral treat. I’m excited to be involved.
