Poetry from Art: a public reading by poets on the Tate Modern course. This is my fourth year of tutoring poetry writing courses at Tate Modern and this year the course has expanded to three terms. This autumn term will culminate in a reading open to the public. 25 poets have been working in the magical setting of Tate Modern, when the galleries were quiet and closed to the public. They wrote poems in response to works from the permanent collections (including Anselm Kiefer's Palm Sunday), from current exhibitions (John Baldessari: Pure Beauty and Pop Life: Art in a Material World) and past exhibitions.

You sound very busy, but
ReplyDeleteI have an invitation for you:
I have created a meme called 'The End, The Beginning: A Silent Post'.
I have tagged you because, I know this is slightly off-topic, but I would love to see 'your' thoughts about the End and the Beginning without using words.
A challenge for a poet?

“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.”
- T.S. Eliot
Thanks for the invitation Lune, kind of you toi think of me. However I am more busy than I seem and snowed under with urgent deadlines. Good luck with your project.
