"Permutations of Red Pine"


September 2026



A Red Pine tree was planted at the corner of 212 Merry Street in the late 60s that evolved over the decades into a cooperative household. We are making it a place for comity and creativity; Clarity and the imagination; we change detritus of early 21st century late stage capitalism into art, shrine, paintings, music, sculptures, urban Permaculture and homesteading experiments. We appreciate the used, the worn out, ever crumbling and reassembling; as we all are all the time.

n the tradition of Alix Olson, but with her own brand of delivery, Amy uses poetry to express her frustrations with politics, love, and relationships. Don't tell anyone, but on ocassion, beauty has been known to seep out of this angry political poet! Influenced by an eclectic blend of artists including, but not limited to Maya Angelou, Jim Morrisson, Indigo Girls, Billy Collins, Rachel Kahn...the list goes on and on. Politics and sex have been traditional topics, but Amy spins a unique, and sometimes uncomfortable picture of any subject that will lead you away from the truth you think you know. Always sticking to her activist roots, she doesn't shy away from controversial subjects such as gay and womyn's rights, abuse, and the oh so frequent jab at "The Man." Amy takes spoken word to a new level...and sometimes a new low as well, but all in the spirit of creating thought and instigating change.
