    SAY WHAT is a new forum for poetry in Colorado Springs. Poetry and contemporary art can be difficult to approach—they don’t always seem to make sense, but this program eases visitors into conversations about both (with a glass of wine and expert interpreters at hand). SAY WHAT is the product of community collaborators interested in teaching people about poetry through art and vice versa. Each session explores ideas related to structure, theme, language and content in poetry that can also be seen in the corresponding visual art exhibition. The second installment of SAY WHAT will feature award-winning Oregon poet Matt Schumacher. Schumacher's second full-length book, The Fire Diaries, was published this year. A shorter version, "Fire Diary," was selected by Matthea Harvey for the Well Lit Press chapbook contest, and his first collection, Spilling the Moon, appeared in 2008. Virgil Suarez writes, "To read a Matt Schumacher poem is to enter a world of riotous word riffs and fire-related incantations. Meditative, hauntingly chaotic, and beautiful, these poems will singe your memory. This ample collection glows with great personal and historical revelatory spark." BYOP (bring your own pillow) and enjoy the program.
