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 volunteers 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.

No worries! I'm just glad that I can occasionally dust off my bachelors degree, an interdisciplinary degree that focused on multimedia narrative. It's also fun sharing favorite things. :)

It was a brilliantly fun degree. I've never used it in any of the ways I envisioned (writing video games, working as a web designer, graphic design), nor have I ever had a full time job doing anything related to it. It's been very handy in creative thinking and problem solving for other jobs, not to mention it's applications to my hobbies. :D
