Poetry Reading with Elizabeth Cunningham

Look to This Day: Poems for Doris McCarthy.

Wed. October 16th at 3 to 4 PM

This unique book explores how the artist Doris McCarthy, who loved Georgian Bay and Parry Sound, continually experimented with rendering her landscape paintings in new light, constantly adapting her style and technique with fresh enthusiasm. Through her poetry, Elizabeth joins McCarthy in her zest for life and perpetual sense of wonder in the world.

Books will be available for purchase at the event. A slide show of McCarthy’s paintings will accompany the poetry reading.
