The sound of ground breaking in Poetry, July 11th, 2008

Featuring poems by five Poets from the metropolitan area and the printmaking of artist Edward Fausty, “A Summer Spoken For: the sound of ground breaking in Poetry” combines the two art forms that seem to go hand-in-hand but are rarely seen together: Spoken Word and Visual Art. The exhibition focuses not on illustrating visually what the poems convey but on capturing the exact visual essence of the text. Poets included are Marty McConnell, John “Survivor” Blake, Hollace M. Metzger, Julian Stockdale and Jessica Elizabeth Nadler. Selected works by the poets will be printed and typeset by Edward Fausty and displayed on the walls of the gallery. The opening reception will be held on Friday, July 11th at 7 PM features dynamic readings by each poet of the works displayed. Free wine and snacks will be provided. The exhibition is on view from July 11th through TBA at the Brennan Gallery, 583 Newark Avenue, Jersey City.

The Brennan Gallery is located in the rotunda of the historic Justice Brennan Court House in Jersey City and managed by the Office of Hudson County Cultural Affairs. It is an ADA accessible venue. This is a free event.
