RECENT ART + POETRY COLLABORATION

Launch of Mother Monument- An Artist Book
by Holly Trostle Brigham and MaryAnn L. Miller

Very excited and honored to have been commissioned to write a poem for this sculptural artist book celebrating famous and forgotten woman artists of the past. Participating poets include Marilyn Nelson, J.C. Todd, Angela O’Donnell, Kim Bridgford, Sarah Sousa, April Lindner, and Christine Salvatore.

The launch reading was held at the Fisher Fine Arts Library on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania on September 12, 2018.

I’m thrilled to announce that this remarkable art book, and my poem along with it, has been recently acquired by the Smithsonian Museum, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Lafayette College, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Penn State, and Yale’s Beinecke Library.
