Poetry in the Gallery: American Motion

Local poets read work directly inspired by Robert Frank’s famous photographs, compiled into a 1958 book called The Americans. A mix of life-in-motion portraits and inconclusive scenes shot during an ambling U.S. tour in the mid-fifties, Frank’s influential photos catch Americans in all their cultural variety and mystery, from subway riders to politicians and cross-dressers. Presented in part by Big Car Gallery.
