The Art of Poetry: Visually Reimagining the Poem

April 15 – August 20, 2021

For centuries the broadside – a printed or illustrated sheet of paper displayed in a public space – was an important means of commercial and political communication. Starting primarily in the 20th Century, poets and visual artists began to reimagine the broadside as a means of marrying their art. This exhibition features compelling examples of the form produced by nationally renowned artists and poets working with the Kalamazoo Book Arts Center as well as historical examples of the form.

This exhibition is presented by Hemlock Semiconductor with additional support from Tri-Star Trust
