ELEMENTS: POETS AND ARTISTS RESPOND

Mabel Dodge Luhan House, Taos, New Mexico, October 18, 2012, 6:30 p.m.

Dora joins twenty artists and poets from across the country responding to one or more of the natural elements, including water, light, shadow and stone, with her original poem written for this event: Elemental: The Voices I Heed. These elements are not the traditional four elements, earth, air, fire, water, usually recognized. Although perhaps similar, it was not the intention to reproduce them. Rather the four elements chosen for this event create their own dynamic, interacting with their opposite (though really not opposite) and the others. It’s all quite fluid. The quaternity is a potent symbol, found in many religions and beliefs, representing wholeness.

Created by poet Tricia DuBois and sponsored by 3: A Taos Press, and its owner, Andrea Watson, is an inaugural event.
