Dr. Holly Karapetkova is accustomed to seeing her works of poetry appear in printed books and online \u2013 but this month, her award-winning poems have been promoted in a more unique way that\u2019s both powerfully modern and illuminating.<\/p>\n

Using the latest projection technology, Arlington County\u2019s \u201cVisual Verse\u201d series<\/a> brings a diverse array of poets literally into the public square by projecting their poems onto large, highly-visible edifices. Dr. Karapetkova, Professor of Literature & Languages at Marymount University and the County\u2019s Poet Laureate<\/a>, was featured in the series, along with U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo, Virginia Poet Laureate Luisa A. Igloria and 2020 D.C. Youth Poet Laureate Marjan Naderi. The work of these four poets was brought to life by noted artist Robin Bell.<\/p>\n

\u201cPoetry is an art form found in all cultures, languages and countries,\u201d explained Arlington Arts staff. \u201cAs part of our ongoing response to COVID-19, Arlington Arts strives to foster community connection to arts and culture using delivery models that are safe in a time when traditional gatherings are not possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through Visual Verse, drivers and pedestrians in various areas of Arlington County have enjoyed the shared literary experience in a safe, socially distanced manner while being inspired by the towering words of poetry. The projections have taken place each Wednesday evening in December, and have already occurred at Crystal City, Penrose Square and the Lyon Village Shopping Center.<\/p>\n

This Wednesday, Dec. 23, from 6 to 9 pm, the final Visual Verse event is scheduled for Shirlington Library at 4200 Campbell Avenue. It will also be livestreamed on the Arlington Arts Facebook page<\/a> from 7 to 7:30 pm.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to bring poetry directly to the Arlington community during this unprecedented time,\u201d Dr. Karapetkova noted. \u201c2020 has been a challenging year in so many ways, and we hope that Visual Verse can provide words of beauty, hope and solace for the people in our community and beyond.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

In her role as Arlington County\u2019s Poet Laureate, which she began this July, Dr. Karapetkova serves as an advocate for poetry and the literary arts, while also working to raise local residents\u2019 consciousness and appreciation of poetry in its written and spoken forms. She also supports other literary programs and events throughout the year, including \u201cMoving Words.\u201d As a judge in that competition, she helps determine which winning poems by local poets will be placed on Arlington Transit ART buses.<\/p>\n

Karapetkova is the author of two award-winning books of poetry \u2013 Towline<\/em>, winner of the 2016 Vern Rutsala Poetry Contest from Cloudbank Books, and Words We Might One Day Say<\/em>, winner of the 2010 Washington Writers\u2019 Publishing House Poetry Award. Her poetry, prose and translations have appeared widely in print and online in places such as The Huffington Post<\/em>, The Southern Review<\/em>, Alaska Quarterly Review<\/em>, The Nashville Review<\/em>, Poetry Northwest<\/em> and a variety of other outlets. She is also the author of over 20 children\u2019s books.<\/p>\n
