Summerland - An Island Renga
Summerland
Walking among the corn
That grows through the night
Opened a tender sheath
Then gave the silken threads for wind to follow;
We were talking about love.
A modern twist on the ancient Renga form of collective poetry, The Collaborative Art and Poetry Installation “Summerland” An Island Renga was presented on the Island of Martha's Vineyard, Lambert’s Cove Beach trail, West Tisbury, MA. This Installation’s opening event featured a walk/dance through the Renga lead with accompaniment on Native American flute and improvisational dance performance.
