One Side of the River: Poets of Cambridge and Somerville
A historic recording of works by 35 distinguished poets, Spring1997
“The long tradition of poetry in New England was on our minds as we began to imagine a project that would bring together many of the best poets presently living in Cambridge/Somerville area. The occasion was celebratory — to honor the 70th anniversary of the Grolier Poetry Book Shop and the work being produced in our community at the close of the 20th century.
The result was a set of two CDs, that includes two poems by each poet. The recording also includes an unpublished poem by Elizabeth Bishop, written while she was living in Cambridge, and read by Lloyd Schwartz, poet and Bishop scholar.”

Tears and Triumphs: 350 years of women’s history
An illustrated timeline for The Women’s Yellow Pages sourcebook
We were honored to collaborate with the Boston Women’s Collective to create an illustrated timeline of New England women’s history from1630 to the present day for their Women’s Yellow Pages publication. The three frames above are a few of the 80+ frames in the complete work that runs through the acclaimed sourcebook. “Tears and Triumphs” was also produced as a 25-minute audio visual work in color.
