MUSE OF LYRICAL POETRY

The friend who inspired me to do the Artist’s Way way back when has a birthday on Friday. He has been keeping up with his Morning Pages, and creating poetry and children’s stories from snippets that stand out. To keep him inspired, he’s getting a book cover from felt, with an image of Erato, the Muse of Lyrical Poetry. Her aspects are the flute and the lyre, and Lyrical Poetry is the closest to my friend’s poetry that the Ancient Greek’s had (one description had it as “personal, moving poetry.”)

After cutting out the felt:

And after a whole day of hand-stitching:
