You may know that in addition to my poetry I also do art, posted on my blog Claudia McGill and Her Art World. For the next several months I will be posting here a combined art/poetry project, Large Artist Sketchbook 2020.
I fill up sketchbooks with all kinds of art. Some contain images only and some of them I use the images as inspiration for poetry. In these books the image is on one page of the spread and the poetry on the other. This book is set up in this manner.
I’ll show you the image and then add the poem that goes with it. See what you think.

What is it you say
about keeping our secrets?
Yes, I can. I will.

Think this is wonderful. Love both the picture and the poem.
Thank you. My sketchbooks are so much fun for me to do, since it doesn’t matter at all what I put in them. And I also love how the pictures lead me further when I try to add in a poem for each one. The books can take a long time to finish but that is also part of the interest in it for me. No hurry, just enjoy, and they are always there to open and to do a project when I am ready.
