Poem in <i>Synaesthesia</i>, an exhibition

Synaesthesia opens at The Substation on Friday. The exhibition pairs 17 writers with 17 artists, with the artists creating work based on the writers’ texts. There’ll be a reading on opening night (which I’ll be in) and the exhibition itself will be on till the 17th.

I won’t lie: I’m not a huge fan of the conceit (reverse ekphrasis is like synesthesia!), which is a little overused and really not that accurate. But the idea itself, stripped of the conceit, is very cool, as is the line-up; I’m excited.
