Welcome, friends and fellow artists. Here for your perusal and potential collaborative use are a number of the poems and texts I’ve written, waiting to be transformed into further artworks by the addition of your musical compositions, performances, and other forms of shared art-making with me. Many of these have previously appeared on this blog, Art Colored Glasses (just search the blog for a distinctive phrase, in many instances, and you’ll find them) and those that have are always illustrated with my visual work, a characteristic and constant element of my blog posts, offering a further dimension that might inspire or pique your thinking as you expand upon the texts yourself.

You’ll find the text sets in both Word and PDF formats below, for your convenience. Please let me know if the links won’t open for you and I’ll do my best to share better.

Find a flicker of inspiration anywhere? Good. Cheers!
