Connections: Poetry, Art and Music

Letter A

I am interested in the way that one art form inspires, adds to or helps interpret another. Often I write journal while listening to live performances of music, traveling on the stream the notes carry me down. Writing what the music evokes is a way to move more deeply inside the music. This is a space for exploring the way poetry overlaps, expands on or interweaves with  music, art, and photography.
