I define a complement as a piece that is specifically created to complement another work in different medium. In the case of poetry, a complement is a work of art, piece of fiction, or other non-poetry creative work that is inspired by or is designed to add another dimension to a person's experience of a particular poem.

TEXT: "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen" - Leonardo da Vinci. (For image credits, please see bottom of post.)This week will be a multi-Hosted themed one: we'll be hearing from one or more guest Hosts with experience creating poetry complements, as well as a post by myself. I'm also looking for
three two one more additional volunteer
s to be single-day Hosts to post in one or more of the following categories at some point this week: a.) a question re: poetry complements for general discussion; b.) one or more links or recommendations re: particularly effective or well-done poetry complements; c.) meta about poetry complements of any type. If you've hesitated to sign up for a full week Hosting in the past, this is an excellent chance to dip your feet in the water; if you've Hosted or will be Hosting, however, you are still welcome to sign up via comment to this post.
