SUMMARY:Poets Corner - Ekphrastic Poetry
DESCRIPTION:The October reading at Poets Corner is a first. We are super excited to be hosting\nour first themed reading focused on ekphrastic poetry. As you know\, ekphrastic\npoetry is inspired by a work of art\, whether a painting\, a sculpture\, or another\nmedium. \nWe are delighted to have photographic artist Deborah DeJong’s solo exhibition as\ninspiration for your next (or even first) ekphrastic poem! Massy Books’ Art Gallery is\nhosting Deb’s inaugural exhibition from mid-September to mid-October. \nAs Deb says\, ‘This exhibition invites the viewer to get ‘under the covers\,’ to\nintentionally consider any words that emerge in your mind when you encounter any\nof the pieces.’ \nStarting in mid-September and before the next reading on Wednesday\, October 16\,\nwe are inviting all poets to visit the gallery on the mezzanine level inside Massy\nBooks. Once you have penned your poem inspired by one of Deb’s works\, you will\nhave the opportunity to share it at Poets Corner. While you read your poem at the\nmicrophone\, the work that inspired it will be projected onto a screen next to you. \nThe earlier you check out this fascinating exhibition\, the more time you will have to\ncarefully craft a corresponding poem. Please note\, in order to read your poem\, you\nwill have to register with the manager at Poets Corner (see below). You won’t be\nincluded in the lineup on Wednesday October 16 unless you have registered\nbeforehand. The deadline to register is: \nSunday\, October 13\, 2019 at 4:00pm (Pacific Time) \nPlease include the title of the piece that inspired your poem. Register with:\nJames Felton\nManager\, Poets Corner\njames@poetscorner.ca \nThe Artist:\nDeborah DeJong\, a photographer with a daily drawing discipline\, secretly writes the\noccasional poem in her spare time. A one-time elementary school teacher who has\nbeen on a long recess\, she will soon be getting back to class! Attending Poets\nCorner\, a monthly gathering held here at Massy Books\, satisfies DeJong’s artistic\nurges on two levels: the poetic\, and the photographic. Having had her images\nfeatured in numerous multi-artist shows over the past several years\, Cover Story is\nDeJong’s first solo show.
