Thirty Days of Stone Soup Stuff



This is a 2004 painting/mixed media piece from Jack Powers using his visual artist moniker "Jack Debris." I participated in an art auction and won it for thirty dollars. 

I scanned the art with the frame still on. I'm afraid it might fall apart if I try to take it out. 

When the pandemic is over, I would love to see if his other larger pieces are still at the International Community Church in Allston.

Stone Soup Croutons, 9-19-16, Debris


Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions picked up from poems overheard from Stone Soup's open mic readers and features. I figure out a title (and sometimes the rest of the poem) later. To paraphrase Lorne Michaels, the poem doesn't go up because it's good; it goes up because it's Tuesday morning. I've done fifty of them now, and you can access them all here.
Read and comment on them before I go catatonic trying to get to poem one-hundred.

Yesterday, Gordon Marshall  presented the Jack Powers Stone Soup Savor Poetry Prize to Jonathan J. Joseph. As if that wasn't enough, Beatriz Alba Del Rio dropped in to show off an original sculpture by the late Jack Powers. It was one of many pieces he constructed from found items in the street, signing the under the moniker "Jack Debris."
