Wonderful photo of artist Bill Anderson taken by Deborah P Kolodji. This captures so well the warmth of his personality and the enthusiasm Bill expresses for our poetry and performances, as he reads along, our book in hand. In the background is his own painting, "A View from Padua Hills", 2004.

Poedtic space opens, in the magical light, you can see the unusual gallery environment, there are 3 smaller rooms and the large open front room. Each small room had the work of one of the Three Generations- we started in the first (visible) with Ron's paintings,then the last with Bill's, and finally the center, where the musicians were centered.
