  • 2015 23Rd Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog
    2015 23rd Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog |Poets House|10 River Terrace|New York, NY 10282|poetshouse.org| 5 The 2015 Poets House Showcase is made possible through the generosity of the hundreds of publishers and authors who have graciously donated their works. We are deeply grateful to Deborah Saltonstall Pease (1943 – 2014) for her foundational support. Many thanks are also due to the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the Leon Levy Foundation, and the many members of Poets House for their support of this project. 6 I believe that poetry is an action in which there enter as equal partners solitude and solidarity, emotion and action, the nearness to oneself, the nearness to mankind and to the secret manifestations of nature. – Pablo Neruda Towards the Splendid City Nobel Lecture, 1971 WELCOME to the 2015 Poets House Showcase! Each summer at Poets House, we celebrate all of the poetry published in the previous year in an all-inclusive exhibition and festival of readings from new work. In this year’s Showcase, we are very proud to present over 3,000 poetry books, chapbooks, broadsides, artist’s books, and multimedia projects, which represent the work of over 700 publishers, from commercial publishers to micropresses, both domestic and foreign. For twenty-three years, the annual Showcase has provided foundational support for our 60,000-volume library by helping us keep our collection current and relevant. With each Showcase, Poets House—one of the most extensive poetry collections in the nation—continues to build this comprehensive poetry record of our time.

It was there the spark of enjoying the world from horseback first ignited deep within him, forging ideas and dreams that shaped a lifetime. The ideas did not take long to sprout into real life adventures and by the age of 15, he vowed he would see as much of America from horseback as possible. And help others see it too. 18 | March 2014 • WWW.TRAILBLAZERMAGAZINE.US Over the years Michael has led hundreds of trail rides in all the most beautiful places our country has to offer. He has guided horse enthusiasts to the bottom of the majestic Grand Canyon and under the pink cliffs of Bryce Canyon in Utah. He led a group of riders along the entire 500 miles of the Colorado trail and many other spectacular horseback adventures. Mi- chael takes his guitar and music with him on the trail, and says he always wanted to go to that kind of party and couldn’t find any, so he figured he’d make his own, and share the party with as many people as he could.
