Words possess power for beauty, communication, activism and political movements. What do we find when we look beyond a single city, country, or continent, at a global literary community? Drawing from the Poetry Center’s archives and Rare Book Room, this exhibit uses an international lens to explore presses, literary journals, and the many voices brought into contact through writing and reading. 

Exhibitions are displayed in the Jeremy Ingalls Gallery of the Poetry Center.
