Planetaria: Visual Poetry by Monica Ong
Planetaria: Visual Poetry by Monica Ong
Wednesday, July 9th @ 7:00 pm at the Ridgefield Library
Poet-artist Monica Ong's second collection of poetry, Planetaria, brings playful literary experiments on the page to poetry, science and art lovers alike.
Ong has created an extraordinary collection of visual-poems that uses the visual language of astronomy to imagine the sky from a female perspective. The resulting image-poems are playful visual experiments that explore the precarious territories of motherhood, women in science, and diaspora identity. A full-color, fine-art volume, Planetaria is equally engaging to followers of poetry, art, and science alike.
Copies of Planetaria will be available for purchase at the event through our partner, Books on the Common.
