This is a project which started as a conceptual piece and became an installation in 2009. I began this piece as an experimental essay presented in various galleries as a lecture with slide show and later published online by Publishing Genius Press. The essay and slides deconstruct the contexts in which we read poetry (paper, screens) and suggest the possibility of using our lawns to express these poetic impulses. Prototypes are suggested and considered. In 2009 I was invited to install an actual Lawn Poem in the grounds of alternative art space The Poor Farm in Manawa, Wisconsin. The piece is approximately 300 ft wide and 60 ft high. A four line poem cut out of one shade of grass and inlaid with a deeper denser grass, with 2 ft by 2 ft. letters. I will present this lecture at Philadelphia gallery and performance space Vox Populi on November 25th, 2011.
