In the visual arts, we often credit painters, photographers, and designers that create particularly aesthetic or evocative pieces with having an “eye.” Less acknowledged is the “eye” the writer must have to identify subjects and situations that can make meaningful statements or stories. So, what about the poet looking for ways to draw images into their work? Or the artist wanting to incorporate words into their projects? How do they cultivate an “eye” for the potentialities of combining written and visual forms? During this 90-minute panel, moderator Alyssa Perry (Rescue Press) will talk with “Barrio Boy” J.P. Hernandez, Joyelle McSweeney, Diana Khoi Nguyen, Cindy Juyoung Ok, and Zach Savich about looking for and finding unique opportunities to bring together POETRY + ART.
