My poem "Old Words" will be published in the online poetry journal Four and Twenty in the July issue coming out July 21. Their website is 4and20poetrycom.
During July and August I will be teaching a course on memoir, writing, and mixed media artwork entitled
"Illness as a Metaphor for Creativity." The course will be held on three successive Saturday afternoons from
noon to 2:00pm. The Saturdays will be July 18, July 25, and August 1. All materials will be provided and artists can bring photos to add to their mixed media artworks if desired. Cost is $15 per class, but be sure to sign up for all three classes, since they build upon each other. The class will take place at The100th Monkey Studio in Portland, Oregon at 110 SE 16th Ave. Their phone number is 503-232-3457. Check their website
at www.the100thmonkeystudio.com for signup details.
My artwork can be purchased by contacting me at lk.parsons@comcast.net or 503-891-5155. I do work on commission and welcome ideas and suggestions.
