I learned something today. I had never heard of Place Writing until here on Substack. What I learned is that I write my poetry from photos I have taken in Nature Places, then use them as my prompts. I love going to art galleries! I am going to try this Place Writing soon.
I'm so pleased to have introduced you to Place Writing, Dena. I think writing about a location from art (photos included) is a lovely way to develop the wider skills of a place writer. I guess, next time you draft some poetry, let yourself approach the subject from a variety of angles, then dig deep, then bring them all together.
Hello Yasmin, I stumbled upon your Substack through "ways to work with me", promt by @lucywerner . So glad that I did! Excited to read about your adventures,
Thanks, Sonja. I'm delighted you're here and I've just read your post about the painting 'Interior Light' by Carl Holsøe. I didn't know this artist and I love the example you show us. For me, 'place' is about interiors just as much as it is about exteriors, and 'place writing' can cover the real and the portrayed. I look forward to chatting with you more!
It's an amazing image, Jill, evoking many emotions in me and certainly sparking the senses. I could have written a much longer piece about this photograph but decided to keep it short for Substack readers as this length of post seems to work well.
Visiting a gallery is a cool and creative writing prompt. I'm happy you didn't post a photo in this space - the lack of a visual strengthened your writing...

The Hearth 2 image is so vibrant with its realism of an ordinary kitchen sink. I can smell it as much as taste it.

Thank you, Jack. I love going to galleries.
And I'm interested to know your thoughts about the visual so I appreciate your comment.
