Poems and Photos Workshop
This is a gallery of images for a collaboration between the poets in the Olympic Peninsula Authors Group (OPA) and the photographers in the Olympic Peaks Camera Club (OPCC) and Olympia Camera Club (OCC). The poets will create ekphrastic poems inspired by the images posted by the photographers with the goal of publishing a book with the poems and photos.
The OPCC previously collaborated with OPA in the fall of 2023 at Studio Bob in Port Angeles. We created a booklet of the poems and the images that inspired them, that you can see here.
The deadline to submit photos is Sunday, May 12, 2024. If you have questions, please contact Kevin Talbot, VP of the Olympic Peaks Camera Club.
