My book Fights features in this Vispo exhibition at the Poetry Library
February 15, 2013
Really happy that Fights, which attempts to synthesise the visual with the written word features at the Poetry Library for the next few months.This exhibition, curated by David Miller and Chris McCabe, focuses on the ways in which poetry has moved into a visual dimension in work by recent practitioners. In particular, the emphasis is on the way that individual poets have incorporated their writing in or with visual images, or pushed their writing into something inherently visual, either lucidly, vividly or extravagantly. Among those whose work is exhibited are Thomas A Clark and Laurie Clark, Gavin Selerie, Liliane Lijn, James Harvey, Sarah Kelly and David Miller.
