Regarding poets who paint, etc., my colleague Professor Nimura has reminded me that, yes, indeed, e.e. cummings painted as well as wrote, and she has sent along a link:
http://www.english.illinois.edu/maps/poets/a_f/cummings/paintings.htm
And another blogger (regarding "Out Here") noted that, yes, we may or may not be meant to work in relative obscurity, but it's still nice to share. Indeed. It did make me think of Dickinson, among others, however, who seemed to have an inkling that her work would be shared--except later, when she was Elsewhere. I think she might have capitalized Elsewhere, too.
(How great would it be if Dickinson returned and wrote a blog? The posts would be terse and completely original. She'd make the genre her own.)
I may have to get serious about this and develop a real list of poet/painters and painter/poets.
But not tonight. I have sleeping to do before I go more miles.
Anyway, thanks for the info/input.
