Winslow Homer, Georgia O’Keeffe, Stephen Hannock Monday, Jun 30 2008

Congratulations to local poet Alan Catlin, whose ekphrastic poem “Girl with Red Stockings 1882″ is published in the Spring/Summer 2008 issue of The Aurorean. The poem was inspired by a watercolor (with graphite pencil on paper) by Winslow Homer.

Several of Alan’s other poems about artists/artworks have been published in recent issues of Chronogram:

“O’Keeffe Requirements” (October 2007 issue): Georgia O’Keeffe

“The Arduous Nowhere” (October 2007 issue): Stephen Hannock

“The Artist’s Studio in Afternoon Fog 1894″ (April 2008 issue): Winslow Homer

Washington DC Wednesday, Jun 4 2008

I will be at a conference in Washington DC from June 5 through June 8. I won’t have too much time to spare, but I’ll try to visit at least one art museum, gallery, or sculpture site. And, of course, I’ll take along a poetry book to read in the airports and on the airplanes.
