I am so thrilled to have discovered Artsfuse this year and have been enjoying reading so many posts on art, film and of course posts of poetry. I finally sent in some of my own work from a brand new manuscript in process--and voilà, what excitement, to have it accepted and now featured, today, October 9, 2025, as Artsfuse's weekly poetry feature. CLICK HERE to read the work
The 4 poems which went "live" on Artsfuse are from an ekphrastic series.
You will perhaps recognize poem 1 referring to parts of Takesada Matsutani's massive "Stream-Venice" 2017 Venice Biennale piece from the Pavillion of Colors & Mystical Joy (click HERE to see on contemporaryartlibrary's site some of that graphite work which is part of the installation).
Poem 2 is referring to the smashed glass flag by Allison Koehler for la soirée inquietante 2024 USA election Ivy Writers Paris reading event at Delaville last November.
Poem 3 refers to Kate Van Houten's seascape/horizon watercolors experienced in her studio.
Poem 4 is referring to a combination of Kate Van Houten works including boxes of collected items she had combined into a sort of installation/sculpture, and it also refers to conversations I had about the image (an etching) used on my first book, Fluoresence, years ago.
But of course all these buried references are running off on their own adventures, too. The art is echo in this dreamer persona's troubled universe. Hope you enjoy!
