I cannot believe this! OMG. My broadside collaboration with Kate Renee that I did last summer while I was a writer-in-residence at the Prairie Center of the Arts got into a show. A show! How cool is that?
I’m set to read at the Opening and Reception for Belles Lettres. Here’s the info I have right now:
Reading (poetry) in the Belles Lettres Opening
7:00-10:00 p.m., Friday, March 2, 2012
Altered Esthetics, 1224 Quincy Street NE, Minneapolis, MN
Show (poetry) Broadside Collaboration with artwork by Kate Renee
March 1– 29, 2012
Belles Lettres, Altered Esthetic, Minneapolis, MN
I’m so excited! My poetry will be in an art gallery, on a wall, illuminated with flattering lighting, and people who are carrying around little drinks and snacks will get to stand before it and gaze with their artistic eyes. I will be one of those people and I will be thrilled.
Congratulations!!! How exciting for you! Thanks, too,for sending me Ghost Girl. What an honor to know the author personally!!
Thanks, Karen! I hope you’re enjoying Ghost Girl. I’m glad she (the chapbook) found a home in Bloomfield.
Super Awesome! I definitely think you guys should pursue this even more. Every time I tell people about them, or show pics from my phone, I always hear,”What a fantastic idea!….combining art and poetry into one!”
Thanks, Jacki! I think they’re super cute too. The two you’ve framed look so good! Nothing definite yet, but I’ve got some “poetry + art” plans in the work for this summer.
