JEREMY JAMES THOMPSON & KAREN RANDALL MARCH 23, 2009 @ 8:00 POETRY PROJECT NYC

[Kyle Schlesinger <kyle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wouldn't usually promote a poetry reading on the book arts list, but  
since these two extraordinary poet-book artists will be reading and  
discussing their work for one night only, I couldn't resist.

JEREMY JAMES THOMPSON & KAREN RANDALL
MONDAY NIGHT SERIES AT THE POETRY PROJECT
MARCH 23, 2009 @ 8:00

Jeremy James Thompson is an instructor at New York?s Center for Book  
Arts as well as a curator for their New Voices reading series. His  
work focuses on the process of collaboration, the reinvention of  
propaganda, and the defining of a practical avant-garde. Through his  
own Auto Types Press, he has produced collaborative prints with poets  
including, Edwin Torres, Joan Retallack, David Lehman and Charles  
Bernstein. His texts and typographic works are published in  
collections and journals including Cricket Online Review, Pinstripe  
Fedora, The Houston Literary Review, The Bucky Monkey, Lamination  
Colony, WORK, and Viz. Inter-Arts, a Trans-Genre Anthology. He blogs  
about movietelling, typography and poetics at autotypist.blogspot.com.

Karen Randall is an artist who works in the media of words, digital  
collage (both sound and visual), oil painting, and letterpress  
printing/artist?s books. She is the daughter of an astrophysicist &  
grew up playing with primitive computers, a very cool chemistry set  
from the 50s, building short wave radios and a telescope, while also  
painting & writing poetry. She has taught hands-on science in the  
Chicago public schools, literary studies in western MA, and  
letterpress printing at the Center for the Book in NY and at Naropa.  
She developed four-color printing process as a means of combining the  
fluidity of contemporary digital imagery with the luminous qualities  
of ink layered on Japanese papers. Her work has been collected by  
numerous colleges, institutions and private collectors including the  
Library of Congress. Images of her work can be seen on line at  
www.propolispress.com.
