Poetography

Ekrastic Poetry is born of being inspired by some form of art and then writing about it.I attended a writing workshop on the form and immediately was inspired by a photo of an actual statue here in Erie called Fruits of Labor. My poem Fruits of Our Labor literally poured out in minutes. My love for this form of artistic expression was born.At Christmas time 2017 my son and grandson who are very gifted photographers, began showing me some photos that they had taken after our last snow storm. Photo after photo encouraged me to write something and I could see that they loved that their art had created more art. Such is the inspiration behind this book of cultural and artistic loves.As a joke I said; "We should call it Poetography" and it stuck.I hope this book might inspire a new love for readers.Enjoy,
