Artist’s Talk: Zachari Logan, Green

Join us for a special afternoon on the McMichael Grounds with artist and poet Zachari Logan, celebrating his newly published book, Green.

Green is an evocative collection of ekphrastic and diaristic poetry paired with luminous, green-toned sketches, created during Logan’s global travels. From iconic artworks and timeless architecture to wild flora and fauna, Logan’s beautifully rendered artwork and thoughtful poetry invite us to pay attention to the wonder in our world.

Set against the natural landscape of the McMichael grounds, this special outdoor program will feature a reading by Logan, followed by a conversation with McMichael Deputy Chief Curator Jennifer Withrow.
