Apr 3 | kevin mcpherson eckhoff launches Rhapsodomancy in Kelowna

April 3, 2010 - 7:30pm - 9:30pm

On Saturday, April 3, Coach House poet kevin mcpherson eckhoff will launch Rhapsodomancy, his new collection of visual poetry, at the Alternator in Kelowna. Exploring the Unifon and Shorthand phonic alphabets as image, these poems playfully interrogate the relationship between voice and visual poetry. Can pictures represent voice? Can unutterable writing express thought? Rhapsodomancy offers an imaginative response to such questions via empty suits reciting onomatopoeia, letters defying the laws of reality and drawings divining the future.
