Four friends, four poets, four engaging souls,  four celebrations. Three are also event hosts and one is also participating in the Index Card A Day challenge, just as I am.

I acquired the photo I used for this drawing from a bittersweet event conducted by Four Chambers Press, which was closing its metaphorical doors. Called “From Our Heart To Yours,” the event was one last get-together that included a giveaway of everything Four Chambers had produced yet not sold. I took one of their anthologies, one of their poet’s chapbooks, a photo of Jake Friedman at a microphone–and the photo I based this drawing on. Among the liberties I took with the pic was moving the four poets around to achieve a more Mount-Rushmore-like arrangement.

4 Poets

Formed the phrases grab and pop

Forgotten time rebirthed just so

Foregone conclusion laid to waste

Formalities seem silliest

Foretaste of life’s peculiar truths
