Saying, hearing, painting and looking

“Muse Becomes Poet,’’ by Boston area-based Donald Langosy, in his show “Art/Poetica,’’ at the Multicultural Arts Center, East Cambridge, Mass., Oct 10-Nov. 24. The gallery says the show explores “the time-honored relationship between poets and visual arts.’’

Some famous poets were also visual artists, such as E.E. Cummings (1894-1962), whose 1920 self-portrait is above. He was born in Cambridge, Mass., and died at his vacation house, in Madison, N.H., in 1962.
