At 76, community Arts Leader Nina Freedlander Gibans releases new book of poetry In the Garden of Old Age.
Nina's New Book Combines Story, Poetry, and Imagery about memory and old age.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, USA, December 31, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- At 76, community Arts Leader, and Cleveland Arts Prize winner, Nina Freedlander Gibans isn't slowing down and has just released her new book of poetry In the Garden of Old Age.
In the Garden of Old Age is a series of poems about memory – collected ideas from a rich life with continuous interactions — ideas and people, spaces and inner thoughts colliding daily in these summary years which pile up and tumble to the pages like leaves in fall. The poems are accompanied by the photographs of Abby Star.
To celebrate this new book, an exhibition of the poems and photography will be held at the George Streeter Gallery of Judson Park, 2181 Ambleside Drive with the opening reception on Friday January 17, 4:30pm. Nina will also be having a book signing at the exhibition opening.
To quote Nina "This will be ongoing…"
Nina is currently working on several new projects including another volume of poetry and images.
"It has been exciting to work with Nina these past few years." says her publisher and frequent editor Jared Bendis. "After her husband Jim passed in 2018, Nina showed me a box of letters he wrote to her when they were dating and he was off in Europe on a Fulbright and then after they married when he was in basic training in the Army. While Nina is creating new volumes of poetry we are also going through and assembling these letters into a new book which will come out next year."
