[ALL UNFRAMED PRINTS SOLD]
[FRAMED PRINT STILL AVAILABLE]
When the residents
of Great Village commemorated Elizabeth Bishop’s connection to the village for
the first time in 1992 – a bronze plaque on St. James United Church – a line
from this late masterpiece was chosen: “Home-made, home-made! But aren’t we all?”
This poem is about the quintessential traveller-castaway, who must make his own
home while remembering the old one left behind. Bishop probably first learned
about Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe in Great Village. And her Crusoe did what
she told Alexandra Johnson she had done: she carried her home within, comprised
of all the worlds she had ever seen, especially, her childhood home “In the
Village.”
This image is the
final offering in “Two Arts” and the next post, which will appear soon, will
explain the fund-raiser the EBSNS is doing around this exhibit. The EBSNS
extends deep gratitude to Natallia for allowing us to share her images in this
way and to offer them to the society to help us raise some funds. Thank you,
Natallia.
Stay tuned for
more details about how you can get one of the images from “Two Arts.”
