VERSE & VISUALS
,
THE ART OF THE POEM
 

​Original poems by 15 writers, many of them GR students, are the centerpiece of a special month-long April 2025 exhibition at the Glen Rock Library hosted by ​Arts Council of Glen Rock and Friends of the Glen Rock Library.

It was a thrill to experience the excitement of youngsters seeing their work professionally printed and on display the way a museum might do it. Our 2nd annual Verse & Visuals event was again chaired by ACGR's co-president Mona Milbrodt, with the talents of the incredible Amanda Marcalus, Stacey Gilmartin, John Blackman, Lisa Hahn, Suzanne Kaselow and Michele Keller. The exhibition is on display until April 29.
Artwork inspired by the poems was created by 14 local artists -- for a combined, exciting mixed media exhibition. The poems, set in LARGE print, made layouts both eye-catching and thought-provoking. The Art of the Poem!
Excerpts recited by a few of our 15 talented ​poets - if you weren't there, give a listen! (Videos shot by Michele Keller)
