The artwork is grouped under headings that correspond to the main word(s) selected as inspiration from the list of word choices in the call for submissions. Images are displayed alphabetically (by artists’ last names). The titles and artists’ names are included with the images; full caption information, which includes the word choice(s) that inspired the artwork, is provided in the document titled “Purchase List for Artworks.” The absence of a price or the letters NFS means the work is not for sale.
All of the poems are presented in a pdf for which a link is provided.

Where appropriate, associated words from the list follow the text of each poem.
