This 10 year project celebrating ekphrasis, the process of writing + building a world writing community is now closed. Glad to end w/a moving piece by frequent VV'er @hazelmason10. It's been a huge part of my life, now archiving it @NCLA_tweets for all. Sharpen your pencils...

We are officially done. 100 pieces are now published in our final issue at https://t.co/bYBpZVVKjT. A Murmuration of Words on page 100 felt like a fitting way to go out. Thank you @hazelmason10 and thank you – beautiful writers of the world – for being on this journey with us.

We are now working on the archiving project with the brilliant team @NCLA_tweets and we will be in touch again to tell you all you need to know about accessing and reading Visual Verse into the future.
