A book launch for Painted Poems is scheduled for Sunday, June 1, 2008 at 3 p.m. at Owens Art Gallery, Mount Allison University Campus. There will also be an exhibit of some of the 20 paintings in the book.
Sackville artist, Angelica De Benedetti and Moncton poet and Mount Allison alumna, Margaret Patricia Eaton ('69), have combined their talents to produce a book entitled Painted Poems: inspired by the natural beauty and history of south-east New Brunswick. This publication is supported by the 2008 Cultural Capitals of Canada Project, the Town of Sackville, and the Westmorland Historical Society.
Both the artist and poet are passionate about the beauty of the area as well as the intriguing history. When they realized that their work complimented each other's in the portrayal of the Chignecto region, the idea of a book was born.
There will be a book signing at Keillor House Museum, Dorchester, on Saturday, June 14, at 3 p.m. when the house officially opens for the summer season.
