An amazing arts collaboration between some of the country's finest poets and book artists.
An unprecedented celebration of the arts, building a truly thrilling partnership by creating a collaboration between some of the country's most inspiring poets and most exciting book artists, bringing these two communities together, and reaching a larger audience. The show pairs ten poets including Joy Harjo with ten book artists. The premiere will host forty pieces, four from each artist, one to two of which will be inspired by the poets' work, and two additional artist books of the artists' selection. Letter-pressed broadsides of each of the inspiration poems will also be included in the exhibit.
