A line in a poem and a line in a painting can each express one common idea–- but, when brought together in thoughtful design, the resulting piece can offer meaning that transcends the word or image alone.  Marilyn Narey’s un/common lines  is an arts-based service for poets, writers, and community organizations that focuses on these intersections.  From simple illustrations to T-shirts to  posters and paintings, un/common lines offers customized designs for poets and writers to promote their work. Additionally, un/common lines has a selection of workshops for all types of community groups to engage in art and writing for personal growth (knowledge, self-reflection, motivation, recovery) and community (support, socialization, service, activism).
