ART21. A Poignant Reading Journey. Longwood Gardens is a continual source of inspiration.
As one of the librarians here at Longwood I delight both in the gardens’ changing beauty as well as the cultural and historical connections that our gardens represent. Often, I am surprised by how powerfully the plants connect us all globally and across time. This delight of discovery drives my curiosity and—not surprisingly for a librarian—to read and learn a bit more. Given Longwood’s current onsite and online exhibition, Voices in the Landscape: Deeply Rooted with Charlotte Blake Alston—a celebration of the strength, resilience, and contributions of the African American community—as well as the start of our 2021 Community Read—in which we ask readers to discover how one finds a passion for nature and explore what can become of that spark— there is undoubtedly much to learn and consider.

One Fine Day: David Byrne Performs His Hymn of Optimism and Countercultural Anthem of Resistance and Resilience with the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. In the spring of 2019, when David Byrne (b.
May 14, 1952) took the stage at the third annual Universe in Verse to read a science-inspired love poem to time and chance titled “Achieving Perspective,” I introduced him as one of the last standing idealists in our world — a countercultural force of lucid and luminous optimism, kindred to Walt Whitman, who wrote so passionately about optimism as a mighty force of resistance and a pillar of democracy. Two weeks later, Byrne took the stage at the National Sawdust gala to celebrate their largehearted mission of using music as an instrument of change, as a movement toward a more beautiful and inclusive world.
