I hosted a party for contributors to two recent anthologies-Blended Voices and Views of Virginia. Several of the poets and artists whose work has been published in Blended Voices and Views of Virginia gathered for a splendid party. Poets read their poems, and artists discussed their artwork. We had a wonderful gathering! I was informed that two attendees who have never written poetry before that they now plan to start writing. For me, the artists' gifted work will inspire me to create more art! Here are a couple of pictures:
