Exploring the Creative Process at the Leroy Anderson House
Continues with Artist and Poet Steve Parlato of Middlebury
The Leroy Anderson Foundation continued its series of presentations titled Exploring the Creative Process at the Leroy Anderson House on October 1, when visual artist and poet Steve Parlato of Middlebury presented on his choice of collage and poetry to depict victims of systemic racism and to honor their lives.
His portrait series, They Are Not Disposable, was featured at Waterbury’s Silas Bronson Library in February for Black History Month. Over the summer, his artwork was displayed at Mercy by the Sea in Madison. Parlato calls this work “a calling and an opportunity to foster necessary—if often difficult—conversation.”
Professor Emeritus of English at Naugatuck Valley Community College, where he currently teaches drawing, Parlato is the author of the novels The Precious Dreadful and The Namesake, published by Simon and Schuster. Steve’s poetry appears in Freshwater, Peregrine, MARGIE, and other journals.
