THE PIG'S WINGS 
On Poetry & Other Fanciful Means of Flight 
 
August 27, 2016

 
Do you enjoy taking flight--mind, heart and soul (and did you know that reading used to be called "taking flight")? Join me on The Pig's Wings for some flights of fancy with birds, butterflies, poems, and a very special work of book art "in support of libraries, books, words and ideas"...


In Support of Libraries, Books, Words and Ideas...

Back in March 2015, I wrote about about the mysterious book sculptor of Edinburgh, Scotland, who has been anonymously gifting extraordinary book sculptures "in support of libraries, books, words and ideas" since 2011.

Last spring, she announced that she would be creating her final sculpture and invited submissions of paper butterflies to be included.

A MONUMENTAL POSE
A Poem Inspired by Bronze Herons

The Gargiulo Art Foundation and Flagler County Art League feature an annual Art in Public Places show to highlight the thriving local arts community and invite visual arts and poems inspired by arts displayed throughout the area. I was especially taken with a flock of bronze herons and was honored to receive the Art in Public Places 2nd Place Poetry Prize.
