Tennessee Williams Fest

Tennessee William Festival presents a discussion on the relationship between photography and writing. Featuring Andy Young, Carolyn Hembree, Constance Adler, Josephine Sacabo, and Jennifer Shaw. The panel will be moderated by George Bishop, Jr and takes place on Sunday, March 30.

A THOUSAND WORDS WORTH – THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHOTOGRAPHY AND WRITING

Andy Young’s new poetry collection Museum of the Soon To Depart has a cover photograph by Josephine Sacabo. Both Carolyn Hembree’s new poetry collection For Today and Constance Adler’s new novel Sight Unseen have cover photographs by Jennifer Shaw, and the protagonist of Adler’s novel is a photographer. Jennifer Shaw has been working with Josephine Sacabo in her studio for several years, and both of these fine art photographers have distinct literary impulses. Shaw has used fairy tales and other works of literature for inspiration, and Sacabo cites poets as her most important influences. These five New Orleans artists will discuss the relationship between the literary and photographic arts. Moderated by New Orleans writer George Bishop, Jr.
