Poetry and Photographs:
In the summer of 2018, Kerri and Morrigan McCarthy, a national photo editor, selected poems by six poets and presented each one to a different photographer. Their challenge was to interpret the poetry in images. This assignment was about freedom; they wanted photographers to find inspiration in language — a single word, a phrase, the rhythm of verse.
In these poems our photographers felt the passing of time. The everyday. The power and fury of nature. + Turning Poetry Into Photos |
Read a poem slowly. Let the words sink in. Then photograph what you feel. That is what Morrigan and Kerri invited photographers to do in the summer of 2017 for a series of visual essays inspired by poetry. They selected poems by six contemporary American poets and presented each one to a different photographer. The resulting essays ran in print over the course of three weeks. See the project online here. + How Poems Inspire Pictures This project was awarded two SND awards for its print presentation. |
