July-Dec 2026
VISUAL POETRY by Sheldon Bergman Daffodils marks the beginning of Sheldon Bergman’s 'Visual Poetry' grant at SLEA, bringing his exploration of poetry into the immersive world of Second Life.Based on William Wordsworth’s “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”, the experience brings one of the poet’s most celebrated encounters with nature into a virtual setting.Through narration, music, and a carefully constructed environment, Wordsworth’s words become something to be heard, seen, and experienced.What begins with a solitary walk beside a lake gradually becomes a reflection on beauty, memory, and the way a fleeting moment can remain with us long after it has passed.
