The Literary Arts Guild of the Center for the Arts, Lake Sunapee Region and the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum proudly announce the publication of a new book titled Visual Verse – Diversity is Beauty.
“The Literary Arts Guild invited the Mount Kearsarge Indian Museum to become our 2021 partner in the now-fulfilled hope that their chosen pictures would deepen poetic honoring of the beauty and the diversity that became our mutual theme,” said Nancy Marashio, chair of the Literary Arts Guild.
This exquisite book is a collection of beautiful photos submitted by the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum, depicting many dimensions of Native American life and culture. They range from the colorful movement of the Ribbon Dancer’s regalia and the intricate detail of a dyed porcupine quill basket to the birch womb of a canoe where children of the Dawn Land huddled. Each photo is accompanied by an inspirational poem skillfully crafted by a member of the John Hay Poetry Society.
“The Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum is … honored to share images of Native art, museum events and some of the hundreds of species of plants that abound at the museum’s campus,” said Andy Bullock, museum director.
Visual Verse – Diversity is Beauty is available in Warner at the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum and MainStreet Bookends. It also may be purchased at Morgan Hill Bookstore in New London, Gibson’s Book Store in Concord, Center for the Arts at the New London Inn and through the CFA or MKIM websites.
