"The Ghost Net Project," a collaboration between artist Heather Green and poet Katherine Larson, uses the physical remains from fishing as a lens to examine historical, cultural and ecological relationships to the Sea of Cortez. The project consists of 25 shadow boxes constructed with salvaged shrimp boat wood and filled with a display of flotsam and jetsam collected on the rocky shores of La Cholla. Each box is paired with a poem, an excerpt of which is etched onto its glass facade.

In the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Reimagine" exhibit, the three R's are for more than grocery bags. Add a fourth R, "reimagine," and they stand for an exciting movement embracing sustainability in book arts. Endpapers made from a poet's T-shirts, aluminum foil and wax paper finding new life as broadsides, and chapbooks sharing space through dos-a-dos binding are some of the innovative approaches on display from the Poetry Center's Rare Book Room.
