Poetry Projection: A White Wing Brushing a Building http://www.boweryartsandscience.org/?p=503 http://www.boweryartsandscience.org/?p=503#comments Sat, 06 Feb 2010 22:28:00 +0000 admin http://www.boweryartsandscience.org/?p=503
Please help fund the projection of New York’s poems onto buildings around town using a high-powered 10,000-lumen digital projector. By imagining the sides of buildings as blank pages for the dramatic presentation of the poet’s work we engage our community in a creative and innovative act of reading, we reinforce the value of those poems and provide a dramatic backdrop for their words.

Check out the project at KickStarter

BAS Board Retreat Jan. 22-24, 2010 http://www.boweryartsandscience.org/?p=485 http://www.boweryartsandscience.org/?p=485#comments Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:33:54 +0000 admin http://www.boweryartsandscience.org/?p=485 Attending the first ever Bowery Arts and Science, board retreat, held at the wonderful Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, Florida were: (Right to left in the photo) Board Chair, Vincent Katz, Michael Warr, Chris Lamal, Treasurer Alison Meyers, James Siena, Artistic/Executive Director, Bob Holman, and Managing Director Gary Glazner. Board member Warr who is the principal for Warr Consulting and a Projects Director at CompassPoint Nonprofit Services did a fantastic job of planning and leading the session. The board is hard at work on developing a strategic plan and honing the BAS mission statement. The big news and a major topic of the retreat is the fact that BAS has taken over the task of producing the more than 1,200 events that take place annually at the Bowery Poetry Club. Here is a photo of the crew enjoying the beach
after a long day of meetings. Check back for more info on the outcome of the retreat.

Kiki Smith and Anne Waldman Poetry Carry-All bag http://www.boweryartsandscience.org/?p=466 http://www.boweryartsandscience.org/?p=466#comments Thu, 31 Dec 2009 14:19:17 +0000 admin http://www.boweryartsandscience.org/?p=466 Dear Poetry Family,

Great News! Kiki Smith and Anne Waldman have collaborated on a poetry carry-all bag — or maybe it’s an art work suitable for framing if you realize there are only 200 of them.

In either case, if you contribute $100 to Bowery Arts & Science you’ll receive the satisfaction of helping the Club in a time of need (our direct mail campaign has raised only half of what we needed),

AND AN ORIGINAL KIKI SMITH/ANNE WALDMAN!

Click here to see a PDF for the artwork!

Just Click to contribute $100 (or more if you can! or less, and receive free admission to a Club event)!

Body of Water at Big City Lit. http://www.boweryartsandscience.org/?p=402 http://www.boweryartsandscience.org/?p=402#comments Fri, 26 Jun 2009 11:01:42 +0000 admin http://www.boweryartsandscience.org/?p=402 Diana Manister’s stellar review of Janet Hamill’s new book of poetry titled Body of Water is now online at Big City Lit. Check it out here:

Big City Lit

Here is a choice quote from the review, “Fellini and Hamill are both artists on an Orphic journey to the mind’s crepuscular underworld, from which they bring back characters, situations and images that baffle the intellect.” We love any review that has the word crepuscular!

Body of Water
Janet Hamill

Standing by a body of water.  Moving or standing still

in the dark green depths my soul finds its own level

Lost in a mirror of infinite margins.  Ever sounding
on and on.  Perpetual arms pull me under light’s
silver sheets tossed with wind and waves
where a coiled muscle gives up a perfect word
I come with only a fever to offer.  Far from the dried
carnations in summer’s throat and certain birds
that pierce the air with an agonizing cry.  I come
to wash and be clean.  To drown in my immensity

Baptized by a spray of distant sky.  In sympathetic
Response the surface repeats the hypnotic patterns
of my longing.  Again and again.  Swimming out
to the breaking pages before me with only
a parched fountain to offer.  Far from the sun’s
entrenched lullaby of insect music and the worried
sleep that parts with a film of dust and fear.   I come
to be carried away through the charitable doors
that open on the shore

Standing by a body of water.  Moving or standing still
In the dark green depths my soul finds its own level
