New Workshop beginning at The Berkshire Writers Room

12:56PM / Tuesday, November 04, 2008
Print | Email |

As part of Berkshire Writers Room's ACROSS THE ARTS program, The Berkshire Writers Room Artistic Director, Richard Way, will host a series of monthly workshops at Chapters Bookstore, 54 North St. in Pittsfield, on the third Tuesday of every month  from 7-9pm.

Way will discuss his self-published chapbook, "The Wrinkling Bath," at Chapters on Tuesday November 18th.

The Wrinkling Bath" series-- eight paintings paired with eight poems-- was first exhibited at Le Petite Muse in 2006. Readings followed at Ramsdell Public Library in Housatonic as guest-poet in Berkshire Writers Room's "Poetry and Pastry" program, and at Wild Sage in Pittsfield for BWR's "The Creative Experience" program.
 
In 2007, Way's second exhibit at Le Petite Muse, "Eight Days to Never," combined base-relief sculpture with accompanying poems.

"Not all my art has a built-in narrative," Way said, "But I have noticed similarities in the creative process of painting and
sculpture with that of poetry. They really are branches of the same tree. In a sense, all our muses are collaborating."

ACROSS THE ARTS workshops interpret visual art through collaborative poetry. "My hope is to showcase local artists' works to stimulate the works of local writers," Way said, "The surrealists used techniques of collaboration in their written and visual art. We'll incorporate some of the ideas of the surrealists, we'll explore some of the similarities between poetry and the plastic arts, and we'll collaborate on poetry inspired by local artists."
