Poetry as art! Come see an installation of Jen Payne’s poetry called Random Acts of Writing: Pushing Time, at the Arts Council of Greater New Haven’s exhibit Shuffle & Shake, in the Sumner McKnight Crosby Jr. Gallery.
July 7-August 4, 2016
Opening Reception: July 14 from 5-7pm
Random Acts of Writing: Pushing Time is a literary installation that includes three poems “There Is No Synonym for Reunion, “Alternate Ending,” and “Transubstantiation.” Each poem explores the transience of time and how we dance along with it — Gracefully. Gratefully. Listen carefully and you’ll hear whispers of Alice in Wonderland, Mahatma Gandhi, René Magritte, Isaac Newton, and Gene Roddenberry.
