Jonathan Clark: Neilly Series Lecture

Kenneth Patchen's art is the subject of Jonathan Clark's lecture, "Extending the Medium of Words: The Graphic Art of Kenneth Patchen," the first of this season's Neilly Series Lectures. Patchen, one of the 20th century's leading experimental writers, produced over two dozen volumes of poetry prose, along with painted poems, silkscreen prints, drawings and other graphic works. Jonathan Clark acquired an extensive collection of Patchen material, the main source of an exhibition in Rare Books and Special Collections in Rush Rhees Library.

Following Jonathan Clark's lecture is a reception in Rare Books and Special Collections, 2nd floor of Rush Rhees Library.  This is an excellent time to view the exhibit, "An Astonished Eye: The Art of Kenneth Patchen."
