The Capitol Center For The Arts Welcomes Cynthia Huntington, 3/31

The Capitol Center for the Arts welcomes poet, memoirist and professor Cynthia Huntington to its Kimball House Victorian mansion as part of the 2016-17 Salon Series, a thought-provoking series of talks that highlight some of the significant artistic work being developed in the region. Tickets are currently on sale at $25 per person, plus any applicable fees for phone/Internet sales.

Huntington's free verse poems often examine the bare mind, restlessly turning the form of the individual against both built and natural environments, mapping both threat and respite against a shifting screen of personal memory. Introducing her early work in a 1993 issue of the Boston Review, poet Donald Hall describes it as "poetry of the intellect laid out in brawny unpredictable style," observing, "Cynthia Huntington writes poems by the sentence, punctuated by the line, and by a vocabulary of nice distinctions. Hers is a poetry of wit, surprise, observation, and exemplary intelligence."

Tickets for the 7:30PM event may be ordered by calling the Capitol Center for the Arts at (603) 225-1111 or online at www.ccanh.com. Tickets may also obtained at the CCA's box office at 44 South Main St., Concord, NH, which is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11AM to 6PM and Saturdays from 11AM to 2PM.
