Poetry & Art at SUNY Newburgh
°ІAn Evening of Award-Winning Poetry and Art°®
Poetry reading from Brushstrokes and Glances by Djelloul Marbrook
Opening reception for the art work of Juanita Guccione.
On Thursday, September 22 at 5pm, Djelloul Marbrook will read from his new book of poems, Brushstrokes and Glances, in the Great Room, Kaplan Hall 101, at the Newburgh campus of SUNY Orange at the corner of Grand Street and First Street in Newburgh.
Following his reading, an opening reception for the art work of Juanita Guccione will be held at 6:30pm in the CenterArts Gallery in Kaplan Hall. Djelloul Marbrook°¶s books and poems have won multiple awards and many of his poems are influenced by art work, including those of his mother, renowned artist Juanita Guccione, and his aunt, Irene Rice Pereira.
Juanita Guccione's oeuvre of more than 800 works has been described as Cubist, Realist, Surrealist, Automatist and Abstract, though her work has always hinted at a unique style that betrays an independence from usual thought and categorization. Guccione herself strayed far from the norm by living and thinking outside the box, especially for a woman living and working during the early half of the 20th century. The exhibit of her work will remain on display at CenterArts Gallery through October 21, 2011.
