MORE INFORMATION ON THE TEA TALK: “O BODY SWAYED TO MUSIC”

At play in the fields of architecture and poetry

and where the Tea Talk will be held.

In this active reverie, this wandering among the elements of architecture and poetry, Silverstein will lead his listeners through the two fields, playing with the ways that they are both opposite and alike, and how they therefore shed light on each other.

“As we might say of a beautiful space, it captures light, so we may say of a stanza with the ring of truth, it stops time, captures it, stops it in its tracks.” – Murray Silverstein
