CALLIGRAPHY AND POETRY IN COLLABORATION
Opening on November 17th, 2018 the Jewett Gallery at the San Francisco Public Library
will feature Visual Poetry: a Lyrical Twist, Thomas Ingmire Calligraphy and poetry
in Collaboration. The exhibition includes the work that I have done in collaborative with
eleven contemporary poets. Jack Hirschman, Dean Rader, and Tsering Wangmo Dhompa
are poets residing in the Bay Area. Li-Young Lee, from Chicago, is a recent recipient of the
Levinson prize for his poem, “Changing Places in the Fire.” Robert Bringhurst, from Canada,
and David Annwn, Christian Kennedy, Geraldine Monk, Alan Halsey, Allen Fisher, and Robert
Sheppard, all frommthe UK, have been associated with the British Poetry revival. On display
will be unique artist’s books, and framed wall pieces, including a 35 foot long rendition of
Li-Young Lee's poem. The work builds on a long tradition of visual artists and poets being
inspired by each other. The exhibition runs from November 17, 2018 until March 31, 2019.
