Have you always been curious about PR and Poetry? How does that work, anyway? I’m having a twitter conversation with the folks at YouDoPR and you! Bring questions, helpful suggestions, etc!
And, don’t worry, I’m not leaving my “career” as poet for artist’s model – yet! But Deborah Scott did a wonderful portrait called “The Robot Scientist’s Daughter” for the magazine Poets and Artists, which you can find (along with her wonderful write-up of why and how she did the piece) on page 37. The whole issue is pretty freakin’ fun to read. I’m only sad I didn’t get to put up an Ode to Deborah. She definitely deserves it. But what a great idea – artists and writers doing portraits of each other. Pretty cool! Thanks Deborah for doing the painting (in which I wobbled around on a sprained ankle, which makes for limited posing, so she definitely had her work cut out for her!)
