Opening May 29, Elaine Equi. Elaine Equi (b 1953) is a well-known poet whose latest book, Ripple Effect: New and Selected Poems, was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award and on the short list for Canada‘s Griffin Poetry Prize. Widely published and anthologized, her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Nation, Poetry, The Paris Review, and several editions of The Best American Poetry. In this, her first photography show, she will exhibit two visual poems. One, “A Guide to the Cinema Tarot,” is an oracle comprised entirely of film stills from 50‘s and 60‘s movies. The other, “Votive Candy,” is a series of photos and captions devoted to the idea that candy is truly holy.
