Transmediation: Visualizing Verse

This event is now SOLD OUT.

When poetry meets visual art, the result is a stunning cross-medium experience. During the pandemic, author, philosopher, publisher and translator Michael Eskin hosted a virtual weekly poetry hour. Globally renowned visual artist, designer, and illustrator Raanan Gabriel created visual interpretations of the poems from these convenings, reinterpreting the aesthetics and themes of the poems through illustration.  

Join poets Michael Eskin (The Emprise of Poetry), Forrest Gander (Mojave Ghost) Moira Egan (Synæsthesium: Poems), and artist Raanan Gabriel as the author and poets respond to Ranaan’s striking artistic reimagining of their work. This event will blend poetry, animation and live discussion to create an unforgettable dialogue that transforms how we read, see, and understand poetry across forms.
