Belatedly, I’m sharing ArtAsPoetryAsArt 2025! It’s a project that pairs up poets and artists (mainly through the Lakeshore Artists Guilds in Manitowoc); you submit an artwork or a poem, then you are paired up and create a second one based on your pairing. The pairings were displayed at the Rahr-West Museum in Manitowoc earlier this summer, and a pamphlet was produced with the pairings as well!
As always, they have made the poems and artworks for 2025 available to view online here. I have to say I was also really flattered when the pamphlet arrived in the mail and my poem was the opening poem; the artwork (by George Lottermoser) that accompanied it was really interesting and taught me something new (yobitsugi).
