On 24th October 2008, I attended a Small Publishers Fair; an international artists’ book fair now in its seventh year. The event was held at Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, Holborn, London and featured over fifty publishers of books by contemporary artists, poets, writers and composers.
I spent two hours browsing and did lots of networking. Admission was free and included wine. Highlights were: inspiring and insightful dialogue with two students on the Poetic Practice MA programme – which explores contemporary experimental practices in poetry in relation to contemporary theory and new media.

Hi Lulu, another year and another fantastic bookfair. So many hand-made books and publications that even after spending two days there we still didn't get through them all! Becky and I enjoyed meeting you and I have enjoyed reading your posts. We really do hope we can exchange poetry and work together at some point.
ReplyDeletebest, karen
I am sure that our poetry exchange will be inspiring and revealing!
