Photo of Abandoned House in Poetry, Texas by Noel Kerns

Look at this beautiful thing–there’s a place called Poetry, Texas. Anyone ever been?

Noel Kerns has.

One of my coworkers just reminded me that Poetry, Texas is included in a slide show of poetry in the landscape that we have on the site.

Elevator Girls

Eternal_City_web.jpg
One of my great treasures last year was the discovery of Japanese photographer Miwa Yanagi’s Elevator Girls series, which upon first viewing felt like large stills from an early Hype Williams video. I was able to catch Miwa Yanagi’s exhibition at The Chelsea Museum the day after The Poets House Annual Walk across Brooklyn Bridge. Elevator girls in Japan are hostesses who greet shoppers in department stores.
