About the artist
At 74 years old, Gary Lindorff is a local writer and poet who has authored 5 non-fiction books, including a memoir, and 5 books of poetry. Alongside his literary works, he also manages a blog. While he has been writing poetry throughout his life, there were two significant events that reignited his passion for writing. In 1981, he penned and self-published "The Blue Man: poems for the late nuclear age", which struck a chord with a certain audience (both old and young). This led to his role as the poetry editor for Baltimore's City Paper for 5 years and his involvement with the online journal "This Can't Be Happening.net" in 2015, providing him with a consistent readership and various platforms for his work, such as Counterpunch. The internet played a pivotal role in expanding his reach. Gary views his poetry as a vital tool for processing his experiences during challenging times, and telling time-relevant stories. Where next? He has more books to release and aspires to remain relevant. He feels that aging has not taken anything away from him yet, but has allowed him to go deeper.
About the venue
In 2020 the 1790's Reuben Wait Barn was moved from its original location in Galway, NY to the shop property of Green Mountain Timber Frames in Middletown Springs. The Green Mountain Timber Frames crew carefully dismantled the structure taking care to label each beam, brace, and board. After restoring and washing the frame, it was erected once again on a stone foundation to live on as a space dedicated to community, the arts, traditional crafting, and the learning of hand tool woodworking.
