|
Six artists and Six poets "team up" for an unusual collaboration for
the Tuesday's with the Muse Program on Tuesday, November 6, 2001. The poets,
inspired the local artist, will read the companion poem and reveal what in the
painting inspired their verse.
The participating artists and poets are: KATHLEEN BAKER: "traveler by nature, walker of worlds, open to impression", Kathleen has been chronicling in poetry for almost 40 years, 30 of them on Cape Cod. She has been a juried poet in WOMEN CREATING , invited guest in the KATHRYN LEE BATES POETRY FEST and has been published extensively. She says of herself: "Am I a poet, a chronicler, a chanticleer, a char bong, a chandelier? For you, my dears, yes....for me, I blow hard into the trumpet of my own understanding". BETSY BENNETT: of Harwich, is an aficionado of egg tempera and has studied with Robert Vickery for the technique. She has won many prizes for her work in open juried shows, including first place awards from the Cape Cod Art Association, and the New England Open Juried Show at the South Shore Arts Center. Designated a Copley Master by the Copley Society of Boston, Betsy now concentrates on the egg tempera technique to capture the wonderful play of light on Cape Cod. LINDA BOYLE: of Chatham. After a career in the financial field, she is now on an artistic journey. Her current passions in art are abstract mosaics and collage, and she has exhibited in Chatham, Mashpee, Orleans. ALICE FITSCH: of Brewster. Having the muse since childhood, she was first published as a child. As a adult, however, the Muse departed for about sixty years. In 1996, she began to write poetry again, and associated herself with the Saltwind Poets. Her senior years have been greatly enhanced by Don Baker's wonderful workshops and her membership in the Saltwind Poets. FRANNY GOLDEN: of Brewster, has been widely exhibited, not only on the Cape, but also in the Boston area and worldwide. Her work has been acquired by the Cape Museum of Fine Arts, Permanent Collection, and she has received numerous fellowships.

He established Scargo Stoneware Pottery, when he moved to Cape Cod after living in New York and attending the High School of Music and Art. A student of the sculptor, Jose de Creeft, he also encountered Japanese pottery at Black Mountain College in Oregon which led to an intense study of pottery techniques. ANITA MEWHERTER: of Orleans, has worn many hat in her life-chemist, mother, teacher, church and Hospice worker, but today the hat, which seems to fit her best is that of writer. A member of the Wellfleet Writer's Guild and the Saltwind Poets, her poems have appeared in such publications as Cape Women Magazine, and elsewhere. Her poetry helps her to capture the memories and feelings on paper, and sharing it with others gives her great pleasure. PETER SAUNDERS: of Chatham, is a 9 year member of the Saltwind Poets teaches the popular "So You Want to be a Poet" course at Cape Cod Community College. Not only does he tape his poetry for WOMR Radio's Poet's Corner, but he also is listed in the "Directory of American Poets and Fiction Writers".

A winner of a number of major international awards, she has read her work on local television and radio shows as well as at various events as The Evening with Emily Dickinson in the Provincetown Fall Arts Festival. Jadene comments that poetry has offered her a "unique lens through which to view the world, not a rose-colored one, but one of deepened clarity. THELMA TURNER: of Harwich, has a varied writing experience including articles for the "Cape Codder" newspaper. She enjoys writing in different genres and notes: "All my life I have had a love affair with words that finally climaxed, for better or worse, into a marriage".
