Poetry Project: the Art of Collaboration February 11, 2009

In his varied and prolific career, painter Francesco Clemente has had strong ties to poets, collaborating with Gregory Corso, Robert Creeley, Allen Ginsberg, Rene Ricard and John Wieners. A new publication, 'Alcuni Telefonni,' with watercolors by Clemente and poems by Vincent Katz (Granary Books, 2008) provides the occasion to look at Clemente's work with poets. A reading from the book by Katz will be followed by a discussion of collaboration, moderated by Raymond Foye.
