Earlier in the month, I told you that the illustrious poet Laurel K. Dodge wrote a poem about my angel painting, titled "The Departure," that displays in my banner. Today, the magazine Mipo~Print was published online and her beautiful poem "Angels, Departing" is among the poems published therein.
I'm honored that my painting was her inspiration and I'm thrilled to introduce it to you. You can read it here, on page 3.
Laurel's poetry has appeared in many forums and magazines such as Mipo~Print, Mipoesias, Miller's Pond, and Electica, to name a few. Most remarkable, however, is her list of recognitions from the respected InterBoard Poetry Community. Consider these:
- August 2001, Honorable Mention, "The Pursuit of Light."
- June 2002, Honorable Mention, "Gaps"
- July 2002, 2nd Place, "Inside Out"
- Dec 2003, 1st Place, "The Dead Girl Talks Back"
- July 2004, 2nd Place, "Wintering"
I have the great privilege of going head-to-head with one of her newer poems "Awake" for an award at IBPC for the month of April. My poem is "Plotting Escape."
