HIGH WATERMARK SALO[O]N Series pairs writers and artists from the Upper Delaware River and beyond for a performance/exhibition series. Each gala is documented in a literary chapbook with full color plates. WITNESS POST Series features works by those who are dedicated stewards of sustainability. The geological term, witness post, refers to a signpost “placed on a claim line when it cannot be placed in the corner of a claim because of water or difficult terrain.” Our culture makes reclamation and sustainable land practices extraordinarily difficult. The writers and artists in this series bear witness to this complex task; their claims help us work toward awareness and action. MEANDER SCAR Series features wordsmiths who carve new pathways. The geological term, flood meander scar, refers to a river’s “experimentation” as high water forges new flow patterns. Post-flood, the mainstream may never frequent these pathways; however, the record of such possibilities intensifies our awareness of how terrain changes. Meander conjures whimsy; scar suggests both injury and healing. Let’s examine forms that enact such fullness. WAVEFRONT Series features visual artists who lure others into their wake. The geological term, wavefront, refers to a surface of a seismic disturbance. Stone shifts. Splash. Visual record. Light is sent out in all directions. Artists in this series give us direction by pointing to the edges of beauty |

Stockport Flats is a flood plain on the Pennsylvania side of the Upper Delaware River. In the muddy mop-up after Federal Disaster #1649, the worst of three floods, poet Lori Anderson Moseman and producer Tom Moseman created the press, Stockport Flats, to celebrate writers and artists whose creative buoyancy builds community. |
