First event coming September 26th!
Poetcetera! will be proud to introduce Portland lawyer, poet, and photographer Troy Payne at the SEA Change Gallery in Everett Station Lofts on the evening of September 26th, 2009, as he presents his innovative and engaging eco-suggestive work, “Cartesian Eco-FemDarkanism: She Comes From the Earth, Therefore We Are”.
Stay tuned for an exact time. In the meantime, please check out SEA Change’s website, (http://seagallery.wordpress.com/about), or visit during the gallery’s open hours.
Here is an example of Troy’s work:
“It took many millions of years to learn to make a hammer, millions more for written language. Recorded history covers the last 20,000 years, loosely. The first cities formed just a few thousand years ago. The first books were published just six hundred years ago.
Only a couple of versions of one particular book were largely available until a few hundred years ago. As little as ten generations ago, very few human beings could read.
We’ve had very little time to study and comprehend all of the workings of life on this planet, never mind the rest of the galaxy, solar system, or universe and its multiple trillions of stars—what we don’t know is vast in comparison to what we even think we know.
Perspective is humble.”
