Editor's note: pretty please share this link on your Facebook page and other social media- help us get the word out to artists! The Ekphrastic Review is an online journal of "writing and art on art and writing." We have attracted and inspired incredible writing prompted by visual art. We also feature art "on writing" and have showcased paintings based on literature including classical and religious mythology; art with text; and art that literally shows people reading. Art history is a wealth of visual work illustrating and interpreting literature, and art in every culture around the world is naturally based on stories of mythology and spirituality. We are committed to showcasing living artists. One direction we want to grow in is to exhibit work from and engage deeper with practicing artists. We encourage submissions from contemporary artists. So far we have received very few and want this to change! Guidelines for Art Submissions to The Ekphrastic Review Attach one to five small jpegs clearly titled, or supply links directly to the work being submitted. All artwork featured in Ekphrastic must be "art on writing." This can mean: -a literal illustration of a book, play, scene from a story -an abstract interpretation, interrogation, or impression of a story or a literary theme -an artwork about a writer -art inspired by a poem -art inspired by or interpreting a lyric or the whole song -artwork that is inspired by classical mythology and any mythologies from any culture around the world -artwork showing scenes from or inspired by sacred stories: Judeo-Christian themes are the backbone of art history in western civilization and we encourage contemporary interpretations to add to this rich legacy, and we are also interested in artwork inspired by the sacred stories of other cultures -artwork that features words, or text, or letters, or writing -artwork that shows books or people reading -artwork that interprets "writing" in any way not explicitly mentioned -painting, sculpture, photography, collage, installation, drawing, pastels, mixed media- any visual artform is welcome -we want to see diverse styles: abstract, still life, expressionist, impressionist, figurative, illustration, photography, cartoon, graphic poem, comic- there are no limits if the work fits the required subject matter -we encourage submissions from all artists, anywhere in the world Please include a brief write up, from a sentence or two to a few paragraphs at most, about how the piece or your work in general are informed and inspired by text, writing, literature, or religious and mythological stories.

In may 2014, I was fortunate enough to view a special collection of works, including Leonard Cohen's art, during a wine tasting. Click here to read about it. Lorette We Need to Talk About Heaven I shift awake to insomniac moon of cat's eye apatite keeping its lonesome vigil. Fire opal shimmer of dawn punctuates the night. Loosely scribbled letters in black ink urge We need to talk. Her Sunday School watercolour called Heaven remains on the fridge-- a black cross entrance to remembrance blue, streaks of butter cookie yellow glimmering glow of angels, dollops of slipper pink the good souls carried away like wildflower blossoms on the wind. We meet under a barren camperdown elm, the blackbirds startled into flight. Unable to find words, I take her photo from my coat pocket. The elm contorts, it's broken silhouette bent over us, weeping, as if a crucifix redeeming us, as if to keep us from being spirited away. Rebecca Weigold Rebecca Weigold's poems are forthcoming or have appeared in BlazeVOX, The Tishman Review, Tipton Poetry Journal, The Ekphrastic Review, Winamop, The Skinny Poetry Journal, and others. In 1987, she founded and published The Cincinnati Poets' Collective, which featured the work of national and international poets for nearly a decade. Her writer's page can be found on Facebook at Rebecca Weigold--Poet. Archie Proudfoot to Ekphrastic: "I like to think of my work as isolating language from the network of signs it represents and explore the emotional response that comes from that."
