Putnam County farmers had interesting stories to tell about their experiences producing food over the years. The recent discussion on August 5th was appropriately held at the Putnam County Museum, which depicts life and culture in the county since it was founded, including agriculture from its early days to the present.
The discussion, titled Word Hunger, and the public art and poetry project that will result from it, are sponsored by Brick Street Poetry Inc., through the support of the Indiana Humanities Council’s Food for Thought project, and the National Endowment of the Humanities. Word Hunger is also part of the Spirit and Place Festival. A presentation on the entire Word Hunger project will take place on Nov. 14 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds barn.
Word Hunger, sponsored by Brick Street Poetry Inc., will engage community discussion on food production in several Indiana counties including: Boone (Aug 24, 2010), Hamilton (September 23,2010), Marion (Aug 11, 2010), Putnam (Aug 5, 2010. These community discussions will be an integral part of a literary art project.
