Object Poems

Eric Magrane
Tucson, Arizona

From the Baroque Mirror Series:

In Vermont I used to drive a light blue 1984 Plymouth Reliant. One April I painted the word “POEM” on the back windshield. As I drove back and forth between Montpelier and Plainfield I could see it in my rearview mirror. I used paint that would wash away with water, and when the spring rain came the letters gradually lost their shapes.

About the Artist

Eric Magrane’s large permanent mirror-poem installation, only mountains, can be found at Casa Libre en la Solana in Tucson, Arizona. Along with poet Wendy Burk, he has been an Artist in Residence at three National Parks; broadsides from one of these residencies will be included in the exhibit THE PRESERVE: Nature and Culture in the Wilderness of South Florida at Big Cypress National Preserve in 2012.

His recent projects also include the collaborative borderlands song cycle (f)light, which was premiered in Portland, Maine, in May 2011 by Women in Harmony, a 60-member women’s chorus. Currently he is at work on a play with Borderlands Theater, The Tucson Pastorela, which will be performed at the Tucson Convention Center’s Leo Rich Theater in December of 2011. He has published poetry in many journals and is the editor of Spiral Orb, an experiment in permaculture poetics. You can see more of his work at ericmagrane.com.
