Orange Night, a collaboration between internationally acclaimed artist, Samuel Bak, and poet/author, Carol Dine, presents a unique dialogue on the subject of the Holocaust. The cumulative effect of Bak’s paintings and drawings and Dine’s poetic commentary transcends the artists’ individual talents. Their vision creates for the reader an intimate confrontation with history, as well as a belief in the healing power of art.
Carol Dine’s poems and personal narratives reflect her passion for visual art. She is the author of four books of poetry, Naming the Sky, Trying to Understand the Lunar Eclipse, Van Gogh in Poems, and Orange Night. Her awards include the American Cancer Society’s “Sword of Hope” Award for her journal, “Treatments,” published in the Boston Globe. She expanded the journal into a memoir, Places in the Bone, now in a new edition.
Carol’s poems have appeared in several anthologies, including Liberation: New Works on Freedom, Poems Against War, Forgotten Women, and Wondering the Alphabet, and in such literary magazines as Bitter Oleander, Lilith, Salamander, Pangyrus, and Minerva Rising.
