As well as the main exhibition in June 2012, this online selection of poetry films and interactive poems is also part on a bigger MA project aimed at bringing poetry to a wider audience using art.<\/p>\n

So if you do have the time to share the links for this exhibition or leave a comment here or email feedback (lifeislikeacherrytreeATyahooDOTcom) or share your own poem inspired by any of the artwork, then this would be very much appreciated. Thank you.<\/p>\n

An Eyeful of Words – Droitwich Library Gallery – June 2 – 30, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

“What a fantastic exhibition this was. Poetry not only in words but in the pictures both photos and paintings. I had to go twice! If there is a spare wall or two that is just crying out for culture, please contact Sarah. These exhibits are much too good to go into a box.” Maggie Doyle, Worcestershire Poet Laureate 2012<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Every Day It Grows<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every time I went into the gallery, I found more feedback, more poems, more art for the collaborative poetry-art display part of the exhibition. Here are some snippets of the feedback received and a picture of the poetry-art flower!<\/p>\n

“It spoke to my heart.”<\/p>\n

“The waves of your singing words. I am a boat. Sometimes I concentrate to understand the powerful meaning of the poem and sometimes I let them ‘me bercer’ through their waves, songs…”<\/p>\n

“I love the union of poem and pictures\/painting. They talk to each other and give the visitor a more complete experience.”<\/p>\n

“The haiku and the photos are particularly apt.”<\/p>\n

“I loved seeing the poems and images next to each other. My daughter loved the artwork for Magpie.”<\/p>\n

“It was inspiring to see how well images and poetry work together. I’ve seen it before but not as a whole exhibition in one place. Wonderful stuff.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The poems and pictures are so apposite, appropriate, complementary. The pictures (photos) reflect as well the depth of meaning in the poetry.”<\/p>\n

“I hadn’t appreciated the depth of insight which can be found in poetry.”<\/p>\n

“This exhibition touched all my senses.”<\/p>\n

“The exhibition is so varied. It’s colourful, easy to follow. It takes you through all walks of life.”<\/p>\n
