<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="Text1"><b>Title: </b></a><b> Public Art Call Poetry on Busses<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b>May 1, 2013 –</b><a name="OLE_LINK4"></a><a name="OLE_LINK3"></a> The Moscow Arts Commission and Broadsided Press are sponsoring a call for visual art in response to Robert Wrigley’s poem “Spring Is Here” from
his new collection of poetry, <i>Anatomy of Melancholy</i> (Penguin 2013). <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This call is open only to individuals 18 years of age or older who live in Latah County, Nez Perce County, Asotin County, Whitman County, Nez Perce tribal members, or Coeur d’Alene tribal members.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b>Deadline for submissions: 5:00 p.m., Monday, May 13, 2013<span style="color:red">
</span><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The winning art will be made into a Broadside—postable art/poetry collaboration—and displayed locally as part of the Poetry on the Busses project that will accompany Moscow’s Artwalk this June—as well as appearing
on the Broadsided website. Art can be in any media as long as it can be photographed or otherwise presented as a high-resolution JPEG. We encourage visual responses that are non-illustrative but, rather, launch from the poem and, in proximity with it, create
a larger whole. For samples of other Broadsides, please see: <a href="http://www.broadsidedpress.org">

<p class="MsoNormal">The umbrellas misfired, the rain broke down,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">all the seed-white dandelions were bludgeoned<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">to a fluffy paste. The bell tower ratcheted<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">up its terrible black birds. Negotiations<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">broke out between thunder and cell phones<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">despite the enormous vee of geese going by.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Someone whispered the secret of the match<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">to a cigarette, and hail commenced<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">machine-gunning a delicate wing of smoke.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cruel world for bathing beauties, though. The clatter<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">of flip-flops rose like an ovation for the nation<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">of May, and the Goth boy in his black greatcoat<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">pale as the Jesus over Rio and similarly stanced,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">having raised his arms and brought to the air<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">not only the wail of the noon whistle<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">but also the howl of a hound dog leashed to a hydrant,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">as though it, in the midst of such majesty,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">in the last week of classes, were his wolf.<o:p></o:p></p>
