TRANQUILITY. TRANSFORMATION. TRANSCENDENCE.
STEP AWAY FROM OUR BUSY, NOISY, CHAOTIC WORLD AND INTO A SPACE OF PAUSE, GROWTH, AND SPLENDOR.
Emotional and sensual, nature and poetry alike evoke feelings from deep within our souls. Walk through nature and all our senses come alive from the aroma of fragrant blossoms and decaying leaves to the caress of gentle breezes and gusts of sleet against our cheeks. Author Mary K. Doyle, and publisher Gregory Pierce, provide a program on the value and beauty of public spaces utilizing Mary’s new book as a guide.
**You do not need to have a copy or read Mary’s book to participate in this reflective program.**
This is the way of poetry, as well. And when the two are blended, nature dances to the music of poetry. Every syllable, every breath, and every image are to be savored and allowed to prompt joy, contemplation and intrigue.
Grab a cup of tea, glass of lemonade or wine and cozy up to a free discussion on the changing promises of transformation of public spaces. In fact, tranquility, transformation, and transcendence is what Mary K. Doyle insists you will find when strolling through the 72 poems and photos inspired by the natural treasures found in three Chicago suburban public gardens–Cantigny Park in Wheaton, The Morton Arboretum in Lisle, and Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe. An enchanting oasis awaits you.
Moderating the presentation will be Gregory Pierce, publisher of ACTA Publications. The event will last 90 minutes and will include ample opportunity for questions, comments, and discussion. The book is available at www.actapublications.com — but you do not need to order the book for this program.
