Last month, National Poetry Month San Antonio invited the community to write ekphrastic poems in response to artwork in local museum collections. South Texas poets submitted entries inspired by works on view at area museums. We congratulate these winners for their outstanding poems written in response to Joan Mitchell’s Hudson River Day Line.
Judges were Jim LaVilla Havelin, Eddie Vega, and Linda Simone. Many thanks to the participants, winners, and judges for sharing your talent!

About Joan Mitchell's Hudson River Day Line
Hudson River Day Line references a section of the Hudson River near the island of Manhattan, New York. Fluid, shimmering yellows and blues evoke sunlight flickering on water. Moreover, a sensation of floating, motion, and a fluid space suggest a scenic voyage.
