Pop-Up Poets: Arnold J. Kemp on Mary Heilmann
August 3, 2011 | ByFiled under: One on One
This summer we’re enjoying a special poets-in-the-galleries series, organized by Small Press Traffic. Inspired by The Steins Collect, the series honors writer Gertrude Stein and her relationships with the visual artists of her day. Each Thursday evening in July and August a poet gives a reading, talk, or performance about an artist or artwork on view. Last week Arnold J. Kemp talked about Mary Heilmann:
