Many of you know I am an artist as well as a writer. In fact, many pieces of writing inspire me to create art and many pieces of art inspire me to write a short story or poem.
If you find yourself in the same boat, may I suggest a relatively new market from Rattle, a poetry magazine.
If you go here you can read the guidelines for their monthly Ekphrastic Challenge.
Basically, each month they post a new image of photography or artwork and ask poets to craft poems that are inspired by them. The artist picks their favorite and it is published, and an editor also picks their favorite and it is published.
It's also a fantastic writing prompt to get your muse going on a sluggish creative day.
So, head over to Rattle poetry and see if this month's image inspires your writer brain. If you happen to get a poem out of it, why not submit?
