Poetry Corners Live at BIMA (SPEC-007)

"Great art is the outward expression of the inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world." Edward Hopper From hot dogs to politics; from pregnancy to funerals -- no subject is off limits to Bainbridge poets when invited to express themselves -- especially when inspired by the above quote from artist Edward Hopper! Every year, in April, local poets submit their poems to Arts & Humanities Bainbridge for posting in island storefronts in honor of National Poetry Month, and each year at the end of April the winning poets gather to read their poems aloud. This year BCB was on hand on Thursday, April 27 to record Poetry Corners Live, an event hosted by Arts & Humanities Bainbridge and the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. This year's theme -- Expression -- resulted in a broad range of poems: some short, some long; some humorous and some deeply moving; some about memories and others full of hope. The lucky folks who listened to this hour-long event heard some truly magnificent work -- and now you can enjoy it, too! Listen here, and enjoy a flavorful blend of island creativity.
