In this early February issue in which poetry is a theme connecting three of its featured stories, it seemed only appropriate to lead off with this seasonal contribution from Carolyn Foote Edelmann, a long-time Princeton-area poet and advocate for environmental issues.
For additional poetry, you need only turn forward a couple of (digital) pages. It connects to music through the musings of Dryden Ensemble artistic director and poet Jane McKinley, whose work accompanies the baroque group’s upcoming concert, previewed here.
Then, poetry meets history as a group of modern-day poets gather in Bordentown to share their work and celebrate 19th-century Irish nationalist poet and past Bordentown resident Fanny Parnell.
Finally, poetry and visual art are inextricably linked in the exhibit “Context Is King,” a solo show by Trenton-based artist Phillip McConnell, whose computer-generated images each have a related poem.
