between the painter and the poet
Posted by Daniela Elza on May 27 2012
One more time I will be part of the Word Whip event at the Sidney and Gertrude Zack Gallery in the Jewish Community Centre. This has been a fun event to participate in and experience the transmutations from image to word. Poets/musicians (whoever is participating) write to the art exhibit in the galley and bring it on the day to read what has emerged. Audience is invited to write in the break as well and share at an open mic at the end. So if you are into that come and take part. I will be reading tow or three poems that have been stewing and brewing. I remain fascinated with the process.
The current exhibit to which we are writing is:
