Hi, I am from India and have been writing poetry since a while. I also have a very visual eye.
For years now, I have harboured an idea - of successfully marrying a graphic or a photograph with poetry - a coming together of two very different mediums (and one might say opposite, since if it's a photograph, then it is the closest one can get to realistic artistic impression, while poetry lies on the far end of abstract..for graphics, while they are both abstract, both can lead into each other or outwards, and it can be fun). If done well, I think it can be very gratifying as an overall experience.
The way (I think) we could work best is that you send me/or I chose (whichever) a visual piece and after writing the corresponding poetry I send it back to you (we can also trun this process around if you wish). After that, and this is the tricky part where there is bound to be a lot of to and fro, but mainly with your skill since I have no graphic design capabilities, we lay the two out together as one artistic piece.
I figure it is challenging, since there are not many precedents to draw from, but guess that's the fun, isn't it?
What would work best imo is that the graphic person has some interest in poetry, and understands the subtelities of english language. Psy-attitude I guess is a common factor with all here, so no need to emphasise
please pass this request on to someone you think might be interested.
peace and love, samrat
