On our newest episode of Open Studio with Jared Bowen, we dive into Boston’s new Imagine van Gogh exhibit at the SoWa Power Station and talk with former United States poet laureate Tracy K. Smith to discusses her latest publication, Such Color: New and Selected Poems.
Vincent van Gogh’s paintings have captivated art lovers for generations. With the help of larger-than-life projections, fans are able to step into the painter's colorful world with Imagine van Gogh. The international touring exhibit is on view at the SoWa Power Plant in Boston through March 19.
Jared then sits down with Tracy K. Smith, a former U.S. poet laureate and Pulitzer prize winner, to discuss Such Color: New and Selected Poems, an anthology of Smith’s greatest poems. Her work looks at contemporary racial injustices, the beauty of motherhood, and intimate moments of retrospection. Smith ends her interview with readings of an excerpt from "My God, It’s Full of Stars" and her poem "Mothership," which are both featured in the new collection.
