Unfortunately, I have always been afraid to start since I have no training in this poetic form and I don't think I would be any good at it. <br />But now, having read this, I think I am ready to put my all into it. Hopefully I'll be inspired by what I've read here.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09138769026197849094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5641117771707843067.post-72245344984791155842009-07-04T14:59:34.724-04:002009-07-04T14:59:34.724-04:00Sounds like fun!

I was excited that Nancy liked my idea for an ekphrastic collection written "grapevine" style and even more so when she told me the idea had landed on your blog. The project has just begun, so if yu are interested in joining us, feel free to let Nancy know or e-mail me at amycooperauthor@aol.com. Since you don't know me, I should let you know that I have ekphrastic poems on permanent display with the art at the Bradley Cancer Center in Circleville, Ohio. These and other ekphrastic poems are in my collection "The Hills of Circleville," which came out in 2007. Whether you are interested in joining Nancy and me or not, I am glad to see the interest in ekphrastic poetry!Amy J. Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14988108601895153238noreply@blogger.com
