Author Description

Visual art is a form of human communication. The Chalk Art Collection is an evocation of art. It is a written interpretation of visual language. Through 13 chalk drawings created by Maia Erbes, the author, Tom Bonine invokes a variety of narrative and observational poems; hidden stories in swirls of chalk waiting to leap from canvas to page. Within the drawings the author found mystery, humor, love, loss, reflection and trauma. The Chalk Art Collection is a world whose entry begins with you own immersion and observation in a a drawing and opens a door to a hidden story.
