¿ Pyramid Atlantic recently revamped its second floor gallery space into a professional-grade white-walled affair. On view are poems -- by the likes of bawdy Charles Bukowski and renegade Emily Dickinson -- illustrated by etching, engraving and drawing. In one memorable collaboration, artist Jim Dine scatters toothbrushes around Ted Berrigan's verse, underscoring the intimacy of Berrigan's poem. Also on view, David Carlson's "Five Minute God," a video that braids slivers of faces and voices into a single, incoherent whole. The result is an occasionally mesmerizing jumble.
"Art & Poetry: The Power of the Broadside" and "Five Minute God" at Pyramid Atlantic, 8230 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring, Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., 301-608-9101, to Feb. 10;http:/
