Poetry + architecture around the US
Friday January 14, 2005
from Poets House in New York (with thanks to JforJames of the NewPoetry list for pointing out the announcement):
“Walking, Poems & Buildings,” a Poetry & Architecture Collaboration
This new exhibition, curated by poet Annie Finch & architect Ben Jacks, features poems and architectural models of a bus shelter, a “writer’s hut” and a nature observation center created collaboratively by students of Finch and Jacks at Miami University. This show explores the ways in which architects and poets build and inhabit durable and harmonious forms, and how walking creates a rhythmic link between the two pursuits. It will be up through February 25th.
We’ve outlined the ties between the builders of poems and the creators of buildings & outdoor spaces in a number of previous articles here at About Poetry:
