Island poet, teacher, and magician Thomas H. Pruiksma will premier his newest theatrical piece,
“By Heart: The Poet’s Magic of Memory,” at 4:00p.m. Sunday, March 23, at Open Space for Arts and Community.
In this interactive performance, Pruiksma will combine poetry, magic, story, and song to explore how poets and poetry sing memory alive; join past, present, and future; and reveal the inner truths of our hearts. “This isn’t an ordinary magic show,” he explained. “Nor is it just a talk about poetry. It is instead a theatrical journey that uses words and illusion to make the invisible visible and the unsayable sayable. I want to share what I know about the inner experience of poetry and how it helps us remember who we are.”
Sunday’s show will also feature opening poems from Vashon’s Poet Laureate, Ina Whitlock, and both of Vashon’s Junior Poet Laureates, Lily Robinthal and Zauxie Sackman.
