But today is different: A Collaboration of Art and Poetry

Mimi Czajka Graminski (visual artist) and Sarah Stern (poet) arrived at their pairings with the colors and shapes and the magnetic pull between the two art forms: visual art and poetry. Inevitably the conversation would go beyond the initial connection, to the very experiences that shaped the art and poems—the natural world, on being a woman in mid-life, family, on losing parents, on jobs, bonfires, and so much more. To the artists, these pairings feel personal and political, and the process by which they came together, deeply mysterious and humbling.
