ARTlines lives, advancing a conversation between art and poetry. Of course, the best way to enter into the conversation is to visit the works of art at the MFAH. It’s only by viewing these artworks that, for example, you appreciate the grand scale of The Gust of Wind, the largest landscape Corbet ever painted, or what the light does in the space of a few minutes standing beside Dan Graham’s sculpture. Be sure to take the ARTlines gallery guide with you; this free download makes it easy to locate the pieces you are looking for, and to listen to the poets’ recordings on your cell phone. You can also obtain the text of the poems, beautifully presented, as a free download. The more people use these downloads and dial the poems, the longer they will remain available, so let’s make sure ARTlines stays viable by downloading and dialing.
On Saturday, June 2, Public Poetry’s monthly library series returns to the Ideson Building opposite Central Branch, downtown. Featured poets include Carolyn Tourney Florek, Ken Jones, Teresa Juarez and Rebecca Wadlinger. We’ll also hear briefly from the Ideson staff about some of the special collections housed in this library, including materials from Charles Dodgson/Lewis Carroll and Samuel Clements/ Mark Twain. Come join us at 2 PM. See you there!
