Reaching for the Moon (2013) Bruno Barreto’s biopic - based on Carmen Oliveira’s 1995 best-seller, Rare and Commonplace Flowers: The Story of Elizabeth Bishop and Lota de Macedo Soares - stars Miranda Otto and Glória Pires. Set largely in Petrópolis (north of Rio de Janeiro) between the years 1951 and 1967, it chronicles the tragic and tumultuous love affair between the American poet and Brazilian architect.   Not Rated: 1 hour 58 minutes.  Poet Laurie Byro to introduce the film.

Howard Horowitz will read “The Wawayanda Watershed” and other poems.
He is a Professor Emeritus in Geography from Ramapo College, and has written about forestry and environmental science as well as poetry. Howard Horowitz is the Author of “Close to the Ground”, a book of tree planting poems. Horowitz is famous for creating cartographic works that visually integrate geography, history and poetry. Horowitz creates beautiful poems and then structures them around the shape or form of what the poem is about.  The most famous example of this technique is his poem “Manhattan” that was published in the New York Times.
