The TEXT is in a baseball glove on the wall of the East Wing of the Annex Gallery of Galley Connexion located in The Fredericton Playhouse here in the province of New Brunswick, Canada.
The phrase in question is in a poem:
" ... an East Indan cobbler ... "about the fate of a baseball glove — but where? In New Germany, Nova Scotia ?
The author appears to be Jordon Trethewey of vagabondtrust.com and winner of a STU "Robert Clayton Casto Prize in Poetry" - so a poet.
I hung the gloves on the wall as a volunteer for AG and GC, but only heard the TEXT read at the vernissage — well, opening — and walked out. And according to a poster you may have seen, am a member of the selection committee ... but where are the minutes of THOSE meetings ? Ah - I see, so THAT's how it works ( I'm from away, you see ... )
The Freddie Playhouse is home to Theatre New Brunswick and a regular venue of The Atlantic Symphonia. The next big show on stage is The Atlantic Ballet.
GC only recently became a not-for-profit after years as what ? A co-op of sorts ? The Canada Council can explain THAT !
Former GC board members include such as Terry Graff, currently CEO of Beaverbrook Gallery, a provincial art gallery in Fredericton. The current Executive Director of GC is the talented painter John Edward Cushnie.
The current show at GC-proper is that of Maryse Arsenault which itself touches on the history and construction of race, ethnicity, language, craft, memory and identity.
