Poetry on Posters in the middle of nowhere by Hi Newman

Kiwi poetry on posters ready for the Sunday Ladies' Picnic at Bethany Cafe, Gain

When Jim Wilson asked if I’d put a few posters up locally, I’m sure he thought I’d go to bookstores, the library, coffeeshops, the usual intellectual stuff. Well, here in Gainesboro, Tennessee, there is a bookstore… sort of. A used book store, but apparently it’s a used book museum because it’s never open. So, as usual in such an out-of-the-mainstream area, we did things a little differently.

Having seen some of the pictures and blurbs about putting Phantom Poetry Billstickers up in places like Paris, Sydney, and of course Christchurch, Auckland, as well as those Jim Wilson has put up in New York city, Lowell, Mass. and Cambridge and Boston, Mass., I asked Jim if he wanted my to put up some poem posters in England while I was there.

My first stop in England was a conference entitled "Peripheral Visions: Suburbs, Representation and Innovation" and it was at Kingston University in Kingston June 17-18 (see pictures).
