Joyce Brinkman, Indiana Poet Laureate 2002-2008, believes in poetry as public art. Joyce is one of six poets whose poetry is represented in 25-foot stained glass windows at the Indianapolis International Airport. Her poetry appears on
lighted glass art by artist Arlon Bayliss at the Indianapolis Public Library.
Her poetry has been published in numerous books and publications as well as on a wall in a town square in El Salvador. 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, Mexico, Japan 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 from different parts of the world as well as reflecting current events in the various global locations. Joyce will be doing a reading at 2:30 p.m. Please call
