Poetry from Art online anthology 2012
Edited by Pascale Petit
For
over six years now, our Adult Programmes team has worked with the
award-winning poet Pascale Petit on a range of poetry writing public
courses inspired by works of art in our collections displays and
temporary exhibitions. This online anthology is the creative outcome of
the Poetry from Art: Starting Poems – Writing course that ran over six
Monday evenings at Tate Modern in February and March 2012.
Twenty-one course participants, from all walks of life, had the
opportunity to explore and directly respond to works of art by Alighiero
Boetti, Yayoi Kusama and Catherine Yass.
In their encounters with often challenging artworks, the participants discovered new thoughts and experiences that spoke directly to them. We are delighted to share these poems with you.
