POETRY ON TRACK
The Knox County (Ohio) Art League, once headquartered at a 100+ year old renovated B&O Depot, announced a "Train Theme Show" during the Month of February, 2009. Artists were invited to display their work, regardless of "medium." I am one of several KCAL members who is an author and/or poet. My suggestion that poets and writers should also have an opportunity to present their work was enthusiastically accepted.
As a result of that recognition that poetry is an form of artistic expression, I sat down to write a number of light narrative poems, including a ballad, an ode and a verse written in the meter and rhyming pattern of the limerick.
My short collection of 13 train poems, brought together in chapbook format, is titled POETRY ON TRACK.
One of the poems is an example of a verse based on a work of art, called an ekphrasis (also spelled "ecphrasis"). The ekphrastic poem in the chapbook expresses the writer's impression of an old photograph hanging on a wall in the B&O Depot.
Climb onboard. The chapbook is available in print for only $2.00 plus postage. It is also available as an eBook for only $1.00.
