| A foliate head by Clive Hicks-Jenkins... |
With painter Clive Hicks-Jenkins and designer Andrew Wakelin of Wales:
Clive is giving me three foliate heads for division pages and painting a head for the cover of The Foliate Head (UK: Stanza Press), and Andrew will be working with us on book design.
With painter Graham Ward of England:
I'm writing poems for Graham's opening in June--and having lots of fun doing so and getting first peek at his new paintings.
With the English-born transplant to Ohio, composer-and-much-more Paul Digby, and his wife, painter Lynn Digby:
We'll be doing what appears to be a fairly ambitious collaborative project, but right now it's barely getting started. More on that one later. This one is a sort of outgrowth of Paul's curation, music composition, and paintings joined with work by Lynn Digby and four other painters in "Into the Light" at Anderson Creative (November, 2011)--at least, doing such a large collaborative project seems to have fired the desire to do another.
Also with Paul Digby:
Paul is going to be matching more of my poems with music and film. Five are already up at youtube. Rather saintly of him, I think!

Very exciting news!
Yes! I wish I could cultivate such a group!
Your Kingdom of creative collaborations appears to be quite united, Marly!
This is going to be a fascinating time for us all. That much I know!
May 2012 bring wonderful creations!
Laura,
Don't know quite how it all happened, but it shall be fun!
Robbi,
I can't give you any advice on that one. It all just sort of magically happened...
Paul,
Trala, we are going to have a good time!
Count me in, if services needed. (:--P)
Hi Albert--
I'd say to you and Robbi that I didn't plan any of this, so you never know--some unexpected project may tumble into your lap at any moment... Just be open to other people, and some day somebody will be looking for a writer.
that all sounds wonderfully good!
Juliet,
I am looking forward to my dance card, definitely!
Very exciting indeed... must be the Marly magic at work!
Hello Marly. I'm back home again and can leave comments here. (Although I was able to access my favourite blogs via a borrowed laptop while I was away, I couldn't comment because the systems didn't seem to allow me to do so.)
A busy time ahead for us. Exciting. I'm glad to be home so that I can get down to things!
Clive,
Yes, busy! And I can't wait to see the cover and also the stained glass and much more...
marja-leena,
Thank you for attributing magic to me! One of my goals in writing is to strive for a sense of the effortless--I love an impression of offhanded elegance. (Of course, you know such things take a lot of work, but I still aspire to that feeling, which does seem a bit like magic when I see it in others. Like you!)
