Visual artist Gwyneth Scally has created a striking quintet of portraits of influential and beloved 20th-century American poets. Wallace Stevens, H.D., Langston Hughes, Elizabeth Bishop, and Sylvia Plath are celebrated in this limited-edition series of elegant linoleum cut, hand-pulled prints. Each meticulously hand-carved plate shows an arresting image of a poet, interwoven with elements and images from that poet’s written legacy. Prints from this series are created using centuries-old traditional techniques, and are available for purchase at the Poetry Center for the duration of the exhibition.
