Poet Timothy Riordan and his wife, visual artist Diana Duncan Holmes, created the book, called Foreign Correspondence, which features Mr. Riordan's literary responses to Ms. Holmes' artwork.

        The book also will feature Mr. Riordan's poem that was published in the North American Review.

        “Diana and I have worked together over 20 years on projects like this,” said Mr. Riordan, who is also a professor of teacher education at Xavier University. Ms. Holmes is an adjunct professor of fine arts at Northern Kentucky University.

        “This is a book of a variety of images and my responses to them,” Mr. Riordan said.

        Richard Helmes, information officer at the library, said the book will be part of a reflective program to take place in the Reading Garden Lounge at the library, at 7 p.m. Sept. 11.

        He said the book will be on view in the atrium at the main library throughout September.

        “Each day a page will be turned to emphasize its meaningful message,” Mr. Helmes said.

        Also on display will be an exhibit that examines the on-the-scene coverage of Sept. 11 by reporters, columnists and photographers. It includes 100 newspaper front pages, extra editions and special sections from Sept. 11-16.

        The exhibit will be on display Sept. 11-30.

        A selection from 700 posters, titled “Posters 4 Peace,” created by children, teens, adults and families to facilitate healing through art, will also be on display in the atrium during September.

        Mr. Helmes said the posters include drawings related to the World Trade Center and Pentagon terrorist attacks as well as the April 2001 riots in Cincinnati.

        Seniors at the North College Hill Senior Center will get a chance to dabble in stamp art at 2 p.m. Wednesday

        when artist Jenny Stefancin presents an hourlong session suitable for all ages.

        Ms. Stefancin provides a different project each month. For more information, call 521-3462.

        A gospel comedy, Back to the Kitchen, will be presented at 7 p.m., Sept. 6 at the World of Deliverance Ministries for the World Inc., 11331 Southland Road, Forest Park.

        The play demonstrates what could happen if the women of the church were told to work only in the kitchen.

        The play was written by local writers Rasahn Reynolds and Anthony Hunter.

        It is presented by Vision One Singles' Ministry at the church. Mr. Hunter is facilitator of the ministry.

        For more information, call Mr. Hunter at 589-3400, ext. 126, or Karen Hite, ext. 105.

        The play is free to the public.
