Poetry Readings by Carol Light

The audio is Carol Light reading her poem, Odalisquie, Titian's Bacchanal, which was recorded during a reading at the Fredonia House Book Club event, Friday, April 25, 2014;  the accompanying music is a Mozart overture, Ascanio in Alba, K.111.

The Bacchanal of the Andrians is an oil painting by Titian. Tiziano Vecellio, known as Titian in English, was born in the small alpine village of Pieve di Cadore, which is located near the Austrian border.  The painting is dated to 1523–1526, and is now held at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, but it was commissioned by Alfonso I d'Este for his Camerini d'alabastro in Ferrara.
