Hello Poets,
This is just a quick hello and reminder about the upcoming poetry exhibition in April.
By now, we each have a jpg of our chosen photo. Please keep the deadline of February 15th firmly planted. In the next few weeks, I'll be sending the format for submissions (e.g. info about you we need for press release etc).
Please also keep the length considerations in mind. We've tossed around the guideline of a maximum of 12 lines by 12 words per line. That might be a little short for what you're in the process of composing and I think a little bit beyond that is fine. But once you hit the 20 line territory, you run the risk of creating havoc for Rich as well as diminishing the readers' joy -- hard to read a long poem on the wall.
At our poetry club meetings on Tuesday (Albany campus Tuesdays @ 3 in the Hot Shot) we've been sharing our poems-in-progress. Last week, Jeff F. brought a few of the many he has written for his image. It inspired us all to attempt many tries and share our drafts at our meetings. If you can, please join us on Tuesdays or Wednesdays when our Benton Center poetry club meets in the conference room (BC conference room Wednesdays @ 5:00).
Rich has asked us to suggest a name for this exhibition. Our last (Spring 2011) book and exhibition was titled "Words and Pictures." It's a popular (generic) name. Please be thinking about suggestions for our exhibition name and send them out for all.
If you have any questions or comments, please write or call.
Happy weekend,
Robin

I'm disappointed I was unable to attend last week and that I have to miss this week, too. My hope it to be back on the 5th. Not sure where I am in the process; I've written two poems, but am having trouble finishing them. *sigh*
