Collaborators’ Q&A: Poet Jennifer Barber: Michele’s use of line, shape, and color to evoke the marks on the page referenced in the poem illuminated for me the border between writing and visual art—how writing is a form of drawing, and vice versa. Artist Michele L’Heureux: I have been a maker of marks my entire life, and I love the image of a child’s notebook filled with marks. I am also thinking so much about the passage of time and my own aging.

Artist Michele L’Heureux is an artist and bird fanatic who works as a digital designer for a medical software company.  Poet Jennifer Barber’s collections are Works on Paper, Given Away, and Rigging the Wind.
