Current Poetry Project: The Argument of Time
The Argument of Time, a five-book series, was triggered by Teresa’s first visit to Ostia Antica in 2014. From the moment she stepped through the Porta Romana, the place had an inexplicable hold on her. Her daylong exploration of the ruins turned into a profound experience: everything in the landscape spoke to her. Back in her then-home in New Jersey, she wrote down the title of all five books in The Argument of Time without any idea of what the actual content of each book would be, except it would be connected to Ostia in some way and that the poems would exist in English and Italian.
Book One: Visit to an Extinct City
Book Two: Metamorphoses, Book XVI
Book Three: Time Out of Joint
Art in Common Places
Co-Founders Teresa Carson, Leslie Butterfield, and Cynthia Burnell believe that art belongs to everyone. They’re on a mission to put art in public places so people can encounter it in their daily lives.
