Wild Lines of poetry are now hanging
from the trees in the Otago Museum Reserve in an installation that is part of
the upcoming Dunedin Fringe Festival 2013. Poet artists Loveday Why and
David Kelly-Hedrick have gathered 26 startling lines from 13 New
Zealand and 13 international poets for this unique artwork. The lines
have been hand routered on pieces of salvaged board and suspended from trunks
and branches for the reading enjoyment of visitors and residents alike.
Take a walk in front of the main
entrance to the Otago Museum and look up in the branches of the trees.
Be the simple thing you are meant to be. (DJ
Tema)
The sparrow arrives with the package. (Cy
Matthews)
Softly, calmly, immensity taps at your life. (Jane
Hirshfield)
Afakasi flags awaken Kiwis - agile sine qua non
inter-islanders.
(Selina Tusitala Marsh)
This installation has been designed
so that you, the visitor, can create your own poem from the single lines
hanging in the trees depending on the direction in which you walk, where you
begin, where you choose to break off. It suggests that poetry is organic,
evolving, every day different and also just here, breathing, sharing the world
with us.
