From April 7 through May 27, you can see my illustrated poem," "Tree Sprites Never Learn" hanging in the Chapel Hill Town Hall as part of the 2005 Chapel Hill/Carrboro Community Art Project: Dream. The poem was originally published in the first issue of Spellbound, a wonderful fantasy magazine for children. The image is a Photoshopped photo I took on the Appalachian Trail outside Hot Springs, NC (near Asheville) in 2003.Hanging 2D art isn't exactly my MO, so alongside the work is a URL to http://www.alexwilson.com/dream/ where I've posted a short explanation of the work, a quick Photoshop how-to, a free spoken-word download of the poem, and a link to order prints. I "recreated" the poem as a 2D piece of art for two reasons. First, it was my 200th submission of my writing, which I wanted to be more special than, say, another rejection from Asimov's. (Don't know, though, whether a local rejection would have stung worse.). Secondly, I've been looking for a way to get involved artistically with the community--beyond the acting work. So there it is then. Proud to be a part of it. Filed under Carrboro Area, Journal, Prose and Poetry, Vanity Smurf
