Celebrate the union of art and poetry, Saturday, July 20, 10am to 2pm, at Calvert Library Interim Southern Branch in Solomons.  The library will display paintings by both Megan Richard and Suzanne Shelden, and the poetry collections of Elisavietta Ritchie, including Feathers, or, Love on the Wing, the beautiful four-color book Suzanne Shelden created by superimposing Elisavietta Ritchie’s bird poems on Megan Richard’s bird paintings.

 

Tiger Upstairs on Connecticut Avenue, Elisavietta Ritchie’s latest full collection that Cherry Grove Collections just published in June, will also be launched. Suzanne Shelden transformed a century-old Japanese woodblock into a stunning cover.  Most of the poems were published individually by various literary journals, and several of these won awards. The paintings and the copies of both new books, as well as Elisavietta Ritchie’s previous collections, will be available for sale.  For more information, call Colleen Cano at Calvert Library Southern Branch at 410-326-5289.
