Poetic Types II, second annual poetry and typography exhibit
8 p.m @Case[werks] Showroom and Galley

Poetic Types II is the Society of History and Graphics’ second annual experiment in presenting relationships between poetry and typography. Over twenty artists and designers have submitted their interpretive works of graphic design, typography, textiles, sculpture and photography for the exhibition.

This year’s featured poem is “Birds Like Ballistic Missiles”, written by Pantea Amin Tofangchi. Tofangchi, an Iranian-American poet, currently teaches writing and graphic design at the University of Baltimore.

“Birds Like Ballistic Missiles” presents poetry as an act of cultural, domestic and psychological assimilation during wartime. The title’s simile and lines are provocative in their ubiquity.

As a Sr. Writer at T. Rowe Price, I work with a group of the best copywriters around. We belong to the broader creative team within Enterprise Creative, a part of Corporate Marketing Services. _____________________________________________ A long and winding road: My path to T. Rowe Price was more twisted than Fidelity’s green line. With scholarship in hand, I left Kansas at 18 to study theatre in New York. When my soap opera paychecks stopped coming from CBS and started coming from the show’s sponsor, Proctor & Gamble, I discovered the power of advertising and switched careers. Over the years I’ve owned an ad agency in San Francisco; worked for Norman Lear on All in the Family, Good Times, Sanford and Son, and the rest of his hit shows; and as a member of Directors Guild of America, I directed Desi Arnaz in his last television appearance— we remained friends until his death. In 1988 I began freelancing full time didn’t look back. In January 2012 my rep at Boss Group called and said, “I know you don’t want to commute and writing for the financial industry isn’t high on your wish list, but I have a gig with T. Rowe Price in Owings Mills…” I was a contractor for eight months, drank the corporate Kool-Aid, became a TRP associate that August, and today I find myself smiling more often than not.
