Presented by Dr. Joanne Stroud and Prof. Mary Vernon
Dr. Joanne Stroud and Prof. Mary Vernon are well-known and beloved by many Dallas Institute members and supporters—they’re Institute icons, it would be fair to say. Dr. Stroud’s medium is language, the written word; she has written numerous books, edited and published many more. Prof. Vernon’s medium is the image; she is an esteemed visual artist nationwide, beloved by students and art aficionados alike. But they have co-taught a course only once during the Institute’s four decades—before this welcome reprise. Every week they will choose a poem and a work of visual art. They will read the poem aloud; Dr. Stroud will speak about it, and class members will discuss. Then the class will look at the picture; Prof. Vernon will speak about it, and again class members will discuss. What will emerge? Perhaps, among other things, a clearer understanding of what a poem is and what a picture is. Though destinations may be manifold, the journey will certainly be pleasurable.
