Bonnie Powers and Jeffrey Levin, owners of the multi-faceted Poet and/the Bench lifestyle store and jewelry atelier space at 11 Throckmorton Ave., continue to curate creativity.
Their latest creative energy is curating “AUTHOR TALK & ORIGINAL ART SHOW: THE BOOK OF THANKS,” on November 23rd, 1-4pm.
“Join us in community for the launch of The Book of Thanks – A Catalogue of Gratitudes by artist and poet Rachel Hébert, Powers and Levin say. Rachel has been featured as one of the fine artists in our gallery, known for her ability to blend the visual and the written word into profound expressions of the human experience.
“We will be celebrating this beautifully crafted reminder of life’s small moments of beauty and a call to gratitude through 52 short poems and 108 exquisite pieces of artwork.”
Rachel Hébert will be at Poet and/the Bench to read from The Book of Thanks. Poet and/the Bench will have her book and original artworks for sale. “We will also be personalizing cards of gratitude to bring to The Redwoods,” Powers says.
The Book of Thanks is a work of art in itself. Rachel’s sparse prose paired with her considered drawings and paintings, makes this book a perfect companion for readers who seek to deepen their practice of presence and appreciation.
Available now in Poet and/the Bench’s Mill Valley store or online, just in time for holiday gifting, The Book of Thanks is a coffee table book and a meaningful tool for anyone seeking to cultivate a joyful life. It’s 304 pages, bound in linen and printed on tree-free paper, with a minimalist display stand built into its slipcase.
If you can’t make the opening, Poet and/the Bench has books for sale now so you can share gratitude with family and friends for the Thanksgiving holidays.
