Poetry Comic Books Exhibition
At The Poetry Library, Southbank
Tuesday 12th May, 7.30
Join us at this opening event to view the new Poetry Comics exhibition, drink some wine, and contribute to the exhibition with your own poetry comics made on the evening.
The exhibition invites you to explore the world of Poetry Comics (from 12th May – 12th July) with items from The Saison Poetry Library collection and beyond.
This terrain, in which word and image meet, can be seen as building upon the tradition of Blake’s Illuminated Books and making it new. Includes works on display from Kenneth Koch, Joe Brainard and Bianca Stone and a range of reading copies of books including Howl: A Graphic Novel by Eric Drooker and Allen Ginsberg and Beowulf Cartoon by Mike Weller.
Admission is free. To book your place email:
