If possible, you should visit the exhibit in the Bowdoin Art Gallery. Some really remarkable work is in there, not just in art, but also in photography and in analysis. I tripped across it by accident and enjoyed it immensely. A fantastically well curated exhibit.
As a jazz fan, I enjoyed the serendipity of the phrase "deep blues." Nice also to see comments. Something one almost never sees in the invisible arts coverage on the Globe's website ("0 Comments"). Maybe one reason its considered disposable....And you're still writing some of the best poetry commentary out there, NIna!
Good to have this on Sunday
I'm glad to have you here, Rod.

I'd love to see it. The book is great portrait of the place, and I bet the exhibit is as rich or richer. (And to see those Shepp photos in person!)

Blush, Jon! Thank you! I like thinking of all the resonances of those deep blues.
Hi Nina, Really enjoyed this post. Thanks for the introduction to Esther Lin's "Cold Thief Place"
