Mutual Muses

The Mutual Muses potluck was fantastic. It is an annual event sponsored by the Cultural Center of Cape Cod. This evening there were lots of poets and artists together, sharing food and ideas. I believe the director, Lauren Wolk, said there were 26 of each. After a fun potluck supper, we had a blind, random exchange of works in sealed envelopes. I ended up with a photo of a sculpture by the well-known Cape artist Heather Blume. I had a lovely talk with Heather, and I am going to go see the original in the Cahoon Museum of Art in Cotuit, which is one of my favorite museums. I have until March to write a poem inspired by Heather's sculpture. And an artist came running up to me saying she loves my Beebe Woods poem. It was a fun evening. I can't wait to see teh end product in March.
