Bill Hughes --poet, historian, biographer, cultural cartographer, writer, playright -- has been turning the brickside of his apartment building in Midtown into an ad hoc art gallery on Second Saturdays. Last month (Sept.) he exhibited art and words related to his interest in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade (Americans who went to fight --and die-- supporting the Republican side during the Spanish Civil War.)
This month he lined the brick with his poems, each enlarged and presented on a letter-sized piece of paper. Weeks after Second Saturday, many still hang there, left there for ongoing poetic inspiration.
