Come to D&R Greenway Land Trust tonight at 6 to listen to some great poetry and close out an exhibit of photos, “Living Among Giants: Seeing the Forest for the Trees.” I’ll be reading, as will many poets from around the region including nationally renowned folks like Gerald Stern, Paul Muldoon, Alicia Ostriker and CK Williams.
Here is a description of the exhibit from the D&R site:
This exhibition in the Marie L. Matthews Gallery at Johnson Education Center challenges viewers to stop and consider the magnificent beauty of individual trees. Considered the oldest and largest living things on the planet, trees are often “overlooked and under appreciated on their own merit,” says D&R Greenway Curator Jack Koeppel. Trees help make life on earth possible. D&R Greenway has collected an impressive body of work for this show that captures the inner soul of these living giants and presents them in the form of captivating tree portraits. This exhibition features the luminous canvases of Manayunk (Philadelphia) Artist, Clay Johnson.
Photographers exhibiting in LIVING AMONG GIANTS Seeing the Forest for the Trees are: Alice Grebanier, Clem Fiori, Bennett Povlow, Igor Svibilsky, Mary Leck, Frank Magalhaes, Tasha O’Neill, Maia Reim, Olga Sergyeyva, and Barbara Warren.
