Accepted into AIR LE PARC South of France

I have been awarded a writing residency at AIR LE PARC! Very excited that I can spend time in the countryside of Southern France with the idea of looking at a historic landscape, the wine region, the environment especially its unique architecture.

My Project 

The project is titled “Random” (prose poetry) a work that allows me freedom to choose subjects, objects or unknowns, wherever the muse strikes, thus giving the work a sense of freedom and liberation from theme.  Many poems are inspired by nature, the landscape or simple objects that are often overlooked. Ekphrastic poems also feature in the collection. The poems “Rugs" and "Canvas” are inspired by paintings by disabled artists. “Sklent” looks at old, ramshackle houses and is inspired by a painting titled Leaning Carriage House by Laurel Daniel.

Focus, Process, and Illustration

Currently, I have 40 poems (re-worked at times) and my goal would be to increase the collection to 70 poems. As part of this project, I place my work as a cross-cultural platform on Instagram (with links to Facebook and Blog). This is a way of connecting with other poets on a world scale, increasing an online readership and liaison. Currently I'm working towards these aims, and I am already following a great community of poets/ writers/ artists worldwide @ evangelynepoetry
