The show struck a resonant chord in the local and artistic community alike, and there was a fabulous turnout. Though many poets and painters had the opportunity to meet up during the Saturday Opening on March 29th, in the standing room only crowd our paths didn't cross. Their poems were evocative. I hope to track them down and get their permission to post their poetry here.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7177279116163180392-759954764579958286?l=myriam-art.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Myriam Labergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01132821208544634039noreply@blogger.com0
