The poetry magazine, Rattle, has a great Ekphrastic Poem Contest. Each month Tim Green, the editor, posts an image and anyone who wants writes a poem inspired by it. I’m particularly excited because this month’s image is one of my paintings. Some of you may not realize it, but my MFA is in Painting, not poetry. I slipped over the border into Wordland, some years back.

It’s going to be such fun to see what poems my painting inspires. I can’t wait. You can check it out here:

I've always loved Hopper. And Vermeer. Light fascinates me.

. Two prizes are given, one chosen by the editor and one chosen by me. There were 148 entries. My choice has just been posted. It sure was fun to see what everyone wrote. My choice was just posted. http://www.rattle.com/it-wont-make-th...
