CURRENCIES, a triolet
(Open sound pattern repetitions with meanings circumscribed by visual transcription)

A current’s ease,
Form into mist.
Occurrence sees

A currency’s
for men too missed—

form into mist.

The Haikube (2006), an ebony cube that produces an almost endless series of poems, by Matt Donovan, Hallie Siegal, and me. Each word is carved in negative relief into the ebony, moveable cube, such that, when pressed into ink, the Haikube serves as a letterpress.

I am thrilled that Abravanel Hall has officially been listed on the National Register of Historic Places! This designation is a tremendous honor and we are so grateful for the incredible work of preservationist Adrienne White in this process as well as the outpouring of support from our community.
Abravanel Hall is officially on the National Historic Register of Places, giving the downtown Salt Lake City venue another argument for its preservation and renovation.
Sitting in a prime location, this Utah arts venue is now on the National Register of Historic Places
