Curator’s
Note: With each of Natallia’s wonderful images, brief contexts for the poems
that inspired her drawings will follow, and links to the poems will be embedded
in the posts.
We begin the virtual exhibit in the heart of Elizabeth Bishop’s childhood world, her grandparents’ home in Great Village, Nova Scotia; at the centre of this heart: her grandmother’s kitchen. When I was steward of this storied house, I lost track of the number of visitors and artists in residence who stopped at the door to this room, paused and entered with delight that they were indeed walking right into the poem itself. Many read “Sestina” while standing or sitting in this room.
