WARPAINT MELVILLE



"Warpaint Melville," India ink on transparency film over papercut collage, 2019, by Troy's Work Table.

Plus, an excerpt from "Warpaint Melville (American Sentences)":

"White stars upon a black field— / the banner yet waves / in the warpaint night." 

(I wrote new poems influenced by the original poem.)

Getting ready for the original "Warpaint Melville" poem to be published as part of CREATIVE COLLOQUY VOLUME SIX on Monday 2/17. It will be paired with an illustration by a local artist. I haven't seen it yet, so I'm excited to see what they discovered in my poetry.
