On my last day in Bellingham for the summer, I sneaked up to the Book Fare Cafe located inside Village Books and took a gander at what she had done to my poems. The results were thrilling. For those of you who don't know, I started college by declaring a major in studio painting. Things didn't work out for that degree, but I have always had a deep respect for the visual arts.
One of the poems "Sending You a Letter I Wrote While Drinking" appeared in Issue 3 of Ghost Ocean Magazine. You can find it here. Here is the first piece of artwork from the series.
The other "Carbonite Dream #1" appeared in the first issue of Psychic Meatloaf: Poetry Journal. You can read that poem here. Here is the second piece of art that Christina Classen put together. I have dibs on this one!
She said that she has plans to complete four more pieces of art for the other four poems in the series. I am excited to see them all lined up one day. To see more of what Christina is up to, you can visit her blog Musings of a Crafter. She makes beautiful things in all the areas of her life.
Thank you so much Jory for giving me props. What a lovely blog post. I really enjoyed using your pieces as a point of inspiration for my visual art and look forward to working on the other four pieces so they can go up somewhere as a collection. Keep on writing such good work!
