This is the forth year of the collaboration between the Hudson Valley Writers Guild & the Upstate Artists Guild, to create an exhibit of visual art inspired by poetry specifically submitted for the event, Poetic License.
The first exhibition of the work was at The Fish Market Gallery in Troy, NY, with a reception combined with a reading of poems by the poets whose work inspired visual artist, as well as others reading in an open mic.
The poets who read who have poems in the exhibit were:
Mimi Moriarty (“Empty”); Tim Maloney (“The Claw Machine”); Pam Jacobson (“Tree Snag”); David Gonsalves (“Page 22”); Andy Fogle (“The House Up the Hill”); Jil Hanifan (“The Mad Lark”); and John Savoie (“Nitzotzok”) read by Dan Wilcox.
Those not in the show who read in the open mic were Susan Morse, Brad Quan Copeland (from a chapbook), Sxr Gripp, S.L. Maurice (from his poetry collection Vibrant Sounds, Colors in Motion), Thom Francis, & Poetic Visionz (who performed from memory & with audience participation).
There were also those magic moments where artist & poet met in person, not just in the world of imagination.
You can see a gallery of photos of all the readers on the website of the Hudson Valley Writers Guild, as well as the art in the show on the website for Poetic License.
The exhibit has moved to the Honest Weight Food Co-op, 100 Watervliet Ave., Albany, NY & will be on display until November 16, 2025.
