Metaphor Taking Shape: Poetry, Art, and the Book
January 22 through March 31, 2008

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]
