About this Event
Join us for the launch of , a special issue of the celebrated poetry magazine exploring the resonant intersections of poetry and the built environment. Hosted by co-editors Leo Boix and Stav Poleg, this intimate evening brings together poets and architects for readings and conversation about space, memory, language and dwelling. The issue features a specially commissioned cover by artist Pablo Bronstein and a crown of sonnets developed by researchers from the University of Cambridge and The New School, exploring ideas of home, rooms within rooms, and diasporic experience.
