"A Landscape of Dignity"
Artist, writer and curator Ian Boyden composed his new book, A Forest of Names, in response to Ai Weiwei's 2016 exhibition, Fault Line. "Poetry is a means to come face to face with language, history, and emotion, and as such it is a very personalized expression. If one writes poetry only to find readers, then poetry loses its most important layer of meaning."

What Sparks Poetry:
Reginald Dwayne Betts on the Million Book Project
"This is a big and funky and radical project. And so it gets walked out slowly....I think a lot of people who criticize different kinds of projects also don't understand what we mean. We’re putting a million books in prisons, and that's not even what I would imagine to be the kind of scale that I want a project like this to exist on. We want this Freedom Library to serve the same purpose as the libraries you find in people’s homes." |
