My poem “Perilous Journey” will be displayed with the painting of the same name by Irene Christensen at the ground floor Galleries of the Interchurch Center, 61 Claremont Avenue at 120th St., from November 17, 2023 to January 4, 2024. In addition, Irene will exhibit eight accordion books (5 from inspiration from her AIRIE residency in the Everglades,Florida) and 20 oil paintings. There will also be artwork by Allison Green and Sandra Mack-Valencia. The Interchurch Center is a a not-for-profit building built by the Rockefellers in 1950.

Take the #1 Subway to 116th Street and walk. The poem is from the manuscript, Dreadful Splendor: Paintings and Poems for a New Planet by Irene Christensen and Eileen P. Kennedy. I will blog on Thursdays again beginning January, 2024.
