From Sabine Street Studios:
“Taking place during National Poetry Month in April, Poetry Between the Lines is an exhibition of large scale erasure poems. Erasure or blackout poetry is a type of found poetry created by taking an existing text and “erasing” or blacking out words on the page. The remaining words form a poem. Using a variety of books, Walrath’s visual poem-paintings explore the use of line in art, architecture, design, and poetry.
Holly Lyn Walrath is a poet living in Houston, Texas. She is the author of several books of poetry including Glimmerglass Girl (2018), The Smallest of Bones (2021), and Numinous Stones (2023). She holds a B.A. in English from The University of Texas and a Master’s in Creative Writing from the University of Denver.
The exhibition will take place at Sabine Street Studios’ newly christened East Corridor Gallery, or ECG, and is part of an annual art exhibition project that celebrates the line as an essential conceptual element in the visual arts. The annual project that will include exhibitions, dance and workshops is a project funded in part by the city of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance.
The Opening Reception will be held on April 8, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm after the monthly Sawyer Yards event Second Saturday. The artist will also hold an Erasure Poetry Workshop where attendees can create their own poems on Tuesday, April 18, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
