“We sat on the porch, in comfortable rocking chairs,
and listened intently to a recording of Joanna Macy,
with Anita Barrows, reading their lovely translation
of Rilke's sublime and mystical poem,
Let This Darkness Be a Bell Tower.”
Porch-Project is the collaborative practice of
Deb Durant and Matt Winkelstein, bridging
architectural and interior design, art, craft, and
social impact. Through this creative venture, we
are working to honor and amplify positive voices,
messages, and lives, directing attention and energy
toward what we value and support.
