English instructor’s poetry and art featured at Beyond the Page
William Reichard, English faculty at Inver Hills Community College, is exhibiting his poetry and art at Beyond the Page: Poets as Artists in the New Year at the Friedli Gallery and Studio in St. Paul, Minnesota. The show runs through January 2023.
William is one of four Twin Cities poet artists “working in collage, photographic prints, artist’s books, and zines, they create portraits, landscapes, and abstractions that speak to the world around them, and give form to those things they cannot find a way to forge with language.”¹
“My work in this show represents how I felt during the COVID shutdown,” William said. “I was at home for weeks at a time, and like many during this period, I isolated myself. These cyanotypes reflect that turning inward. I couldn’t do anything about the pandemic, so I kept my focus small and intimate.”²
