    Brinkman Headshot T2IMG_4048     Joyce Brinkman, Indiana Poet Laureate 2002-2008, believes in poetry as public art.  Joyce is one of six poets whose poetry is displayed on 25-foot stained glass windows at the Indianapolis International Airport.  It also appears at the Indianapolis Public Library, and on a wall in a town square in El Salvador.  Her poetry has been published in numerous books and publications.  Last year she explored cross-species collaboration with the orangutans at the Indpls. Zoo.

    Her latest book, Seasons of Sharing is an international collaboration between six global partners in France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and the U.S., who via email, created poetry exploring the richness of the seasons, writing in the ancient Japanese form of renku poetry.  Each poem is a global collaboration which reflects the seasons as well as current events from different parts of the world.  Joyce will be doing a reading at 2:30.  Please call (317)733-1747 to reserve your copy.
