Poetry on Broadway with Michael and Adam Horovitz
Friday, 17 February 2012 at 7.00pm
Join us for an evening of readings, art and music with poet, legend and internationalist polymath Michael Horovitz and his son, the poet, Adam Horovitz. Michael will be reading from his body of work and improvising on the saxaphone to his picture poems. Adam will be reading from his first collection Turning, published last year. The evening also marks the exhibition of a selection of Michael’s art, Picture-Poems, Paintings & Prints at The Broadway Bookshop.
Michael Horovitz was described by Allen Ginsberg as a ‘Popular, Experienced, Experimental, Jazz Generation, New Jerusalem, Sensitive Bard’. His magnum opus, A New Waste Land, was selected as Book of the Year by DJ Taylor in The Independent as ‘A deeply felt clarion call from the radical underground’. He has been an arts and literature worker for most of his adult life, his artworks and picture-poems exhibited internationally. He has edited and published New Departures and coordinated the Poetry Olympics festivals for 50 years.
Adam Horovitz has recently published his first collection of poetry entitled Turning. Carol Ann Duffy says he ‘writes poems of great beauty and truth; poems which are earned through experience, suffering and love, and deployed in a physical language of scrupulous integrity. He is the real deal.’ He was voted onto the Hospital Club and Independent newspaper’s ‘Hospital Club 100’ as an ‘emerging talent’ in 2010.
Michael’s art show continues until 2nd March
The event is £3 including a glass of wine.
Pictures are on sale.
