X is for X-ray Art

Happy Saturday!

Today's inspiration comes from a type of art that I learned of only recently but find completely fascinating and inspiring: X-ray art. Nick Veasey, a British photographer, works with images created from X-ray imaging, some of which he then manipulates with Photoshop to create some absolutely remarkable results. This video showcases some of his work. Enjoy!



My daily haiku is now up at the Pulitzer Remix site. You can find it here. National Poetry Month is nearly over, and I've been having such a great time participating in this project. Thank you to all of you who have been reading and commenting. Your support means so much.


Wishing you all a fantastic weekend. ☺

Exciting news!

Happy Thursday, friends. ♥

April is nearly here, and I know that many of us will be participating in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. Are you ready? I am—sort of. ☺ I'm looking forward to your posts. April is always a fun time in the blogosphere!

And now for my exciting news: April is also National Poetry Month, and I'm one of eighty-five poets chosen to participate in the Pulitzer Remix project, which is sponsored by The Found Poetry Review. We will be creating found poetry from the eighty-five Pulitzer-Prize winning works of fiction, and we'll each be posting one poem per day on the Pulitzer Remix site. By the end of the month, we'll have created more than 2,500 poems!

For those who are unfamiliar with the term, found poetry (as defined by POETS.org) is "the literary equivalent of a collage. Found poems take existing texts and refashion them, reorder them, and present them as poems." I've been experimenting with this kind of poetry for about a year, so I'm especially excited to have this opportunity. My source text will be John Updike's Rabbit is Rich, and I've chosen to write thirty haiku. I'll include the link to each day's poem in my A to Z posts. I hope you'll stop by. ☺

April is going to be a fun month! How is it looking for you?
