Join Kyle Schlesinger, curator of the winter exhibition Poems & Pictures, and panelists Lewis Warsh and Don Share for a discussion of dynamic collaborations between poets and artists – how word, sequence, and image can combine to become more than the sum of their parts, and how creative partnerships happen.

Kyle Schlesinger (Cuneiform Press), poet and publisher, has lectured extensively on topics related to poetics, visual communication, and artists' books. Lewis Warsh, a native New Yorker, has had a long and distinguished career in poetry, and is currently director of the MFA program in Creative Writing at Long Island University.
