Due to ongoing construction at the Beinecke Library, the exhibition
schedule for “Metaphor Taking Shape: Poetry Art and the Book” has
changed: the exhibition will be on view through Saturday, March 15.
The companion exhibition “The Publishers’ Roundtable: Book Artists in
Dialogue” will be on view at the Arts of the Book Collection at Sterling
Memorial Library through March 31, 2008.
Metaphor Taking Shape: Poetry, Art, and the Book
The exhibition includes a broad display of books exploring the ways
in which poets, publishers, artists, and printers have navigated the
intersection of poetry and art in printed formats. The exhibition
considers the ways poetry and book arts interact and connect, their
shared context, and their potentially conflicting functions; materials on
display explore questions of verbal and visual metaphor making,
emphasizing the roles of creative and collaborative processes involved in
uniting image, verse, and print.
