Brattleboro Literary Festival

"Reality will never be discovered once and for all. Truth will always be new. Otherwise, it would be nothing but a natural system, more pitiful than nature", Guillaume Apollinaire.

In the fall of 2010 and again in 2011, CDA collaborated with Write Action and the Brattleboro Literary Festival to present an exhibition of videoart that explores the intersection of video and poetry or prose.
