<font size=4><b>Metaphor Taking Shape: Poetry, Art, and the
Book</b></font> <br>
<i>January 22 through March 31, 2008 <br><br>
</i>This 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. A companion exhibition, "The
Publisher's Roundtable: Book Artists in Dialogue," will be on view
at the Arts of the Book Collection at Sterling Memorial Library. [ca. 200
items]<br><br>
