Poetic Types II, second annual poetry and typography exhibit
8 p.m @Case[werks] Showroom and Galley
Poetic Types II is the Society of History and Graphics’ second annual experiment in presenting relationships between poetry and typography. Over twenty artists and designers have submitted their interpretive works of graphic design, typography, textiles, sculpture and photography for the exhibition.
This year’s featured poem is “Birds Like Ballistic Missiles”, written by Pantea Amin Tofangchi. Tofangchi, an Iranian-American poet, currently teaches writing and graphic design at the University of Baltimore.
“Birds Like Ballistic Missiles” presents poetry as an act of cultural, domestic and psychological assimilation during wartime. The title’s simile and lines are provocative in their ubiquity.
