During April’s National Poetry Month ekphrastic project, I put out a call for our Instagram family to submit film photographs as potential writing fodder, with the invitation for poets to put some words to the images. So far, we have had no takers when it comes to people writing to any of the photographs that were tagged with #fscpoems, but the offer will stand indefinitely, so if you are just seeing this now and the muse hits you upside the head with inspiration, please let us know! A comment here, an email to Amy Jasek, or a message on our Instagram or Facebook is a great way to contact us with what you’ve made towards this!

I wanted to give a shoutout to the photographers who were willing to offer up their photographs to be written about; I know that can be nerve-wracking! Below, I present you with a selection from the hashtag #fscpoems that sing in visual verse even without any words attached.

Please check out the photographers’ feeds for more of their work! Thank you to everyone who submitted!
