(From Jack Large)

Hip 60’s slide show with stories turned on, tuned in, dropped out. Ektachrome 127-size photos scanned and gifted to City of Seattle.

I had a sleeping room in Abie Label’s “artist colony” on the 11th floor of the Frye Hotel near Seattle’s Pioneer Square at the end of 1966.Most of my Pike Place Farmers’ Market shots were taken using Ektachrome 127 film, in the “baby” Rolleiflex TLR camera my Dad brought back from Europe after WWII. He gave it to me when I turned 18 and graduated from high school…(Click here to continue.)

Robert Bringhurst The Ridge (Interview) Pt. 1

Robert Bringhurst The Ridge (Interview) Pt. 1

The Ridge is a poem in 20 parts, a meditation on a geological feature of Quadra Island, a large island in British Columbia, just north of the Strait of Georgia, and thus the Salish Sea. But the poem is also a meditation on what’s happening on the island and on the planet we share in what’s been described as devastating imagery. I would add that it’s a meditation on the human species as well, at this time in the early Anthropocene.
Robert Bringhurst is the author. Trained initially in the sciences at MIT, he makes his life in the humanities from his home on Quadra Island, where he’s worked in poetry, Native American linguistics and typography. An officer of the Order of Canada, former Guggenheim Fellow and winner of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Literary Excellence. He’s our guest today to talk about The Ridge. Robert, thanks for your time and hospitality.
