Poetry Link: Paul Vermeersch in The Walrus

What happens when two forms of art are bounced off one another? That's what the 2011 Arc Poetry Magazine's Poetry Annual 2011: Poet as Art Thief wanted to explore. This year, Arc celebrates ekphrasis — the representation of visual art within a literary work, and vice-versa. Through a diverse series of poetry, art, essays and interviews, Canadian artists render a feast for the senses as they meditate on the place of art in poetry.

David O'Meara, who today tells Open Book about the poetry-art chain inspired by his poem "The Throw," will be reading at the Landon Branch Library in London on February 16th and at Bryan Prince Bookseller in Hamilton on February 17th. Visit Open Book: Ontario's Events page for more details.
