Event Details

We invite you to the first public reading of these poems in San Francisco by Garrett Caples.

Impossible Landscapes
Poems by Nat Herz with illustrations by Kurt Seligmann

“Surrealist Afrocentrism”
the poems of Philip Lamantia Read by Andrew Joron

“The key for me was my weekly lunch with the painter engraver Kurt Seligmann who graciously allowed me to look at his volumes of very early, amazing alchemical texts. This was an unforgettable experience.” – Philip Lamantia, San Francisco Beat: Talking with Poets

Surrealist Poetry Today
Written Work in Homage to Seligmann by Contemporary Poets Brian Lucas and Will Alexander

“Like other marginal, if unresigned, territories, surrealism has been raided, colonized, robbed, distorted, marketed, misrepresented and mystified by obscene forces of recuperation. Surrealism fails and it prevails.” – Nancy Joyce Peters
