An Evening with Jens Jensen at Toft Point

Roger J. Kuhns performs "An Evening with Jens Jensen at Toft Point", recorded live at Baileys Harbor, WI August 29, 2018. Jens Jensen is the "Father of Natural Landscape Architecture", and the founder of The Clearing folk school in Ellison Bay, WI, designer of Chicago's western district parks and many landscapes across the midwest. Kuhns' story telling style performance monologue brings you into the person of Jens Jensen and looks at how he saw the world in terms of the environment, cities, people's access to nature, and the larger picture of our human behavior towards the Earth. It is a dramatic-comedic play, and winner of the "Professional Achievement Award" by the Best of the Midwest Media Fest 2019.

I would like to personally thank poet of the Prairie Jensen For just recently reaching out to me.

passing along confidence and such words of wisdom proof only historical figures Which continue to actively contribute Long after their final passing.

I recently broke down and deeply cried on and off all day until drifting asleep that night. And in between my bouts of tears, I laughed and laughed like jolly Saint Nick.

See Jensen, A man considered 100 years ahead of his future. Had already prepared A letter of greeting expected to inevitably arrive as humanity welcomed in 21st Century.

And as a student of history, Jens had also been keenly aware how such a traditional renaissance like era Himself and his peers were lucky to live in. Intersecting with power of place.

Does not come along Very often.
