“Almost Spring”

Posted on March 1, 2015 • Words by John Nieves • Art by Meghan Keane

Collaborators’ Q&A: Poet John A. Nieves: Meghan’s remarkable piece gave a new and powerful sense of texture the emotional complexity of the poem, the gesture toward soot/pitch/the darkness in an ultrasound moved me toward that dense blackness in a visceral way. Artist Meghan Keane: …art is about the leap beyond the illustrative to the visually poetic (how real art work manages to transcend itself and become the first time you’re experiencing that expression)…

Poet John A. Nieves‘s first book, Curio, was published in 2014 by Elixir Press. Artist Meghan Keane is a painter and printmaker. She is a visiting alumni artist at the Brooklyn College art department printshop.
