a friend of mine was just over there & tells me this was terrific:
The possibility of poetry: from Migrant magazine to artists' books
This exhibition charts the short but extraordinary life of the literary
magazine Migrant, publisher at the beginning of the 1960s of many
British and American poets soon to find renown. Charles Olson, Ian
Hamilton Finlay, Roy Fisher and the magazine's poet-editor Gael
Turnbull were among the fascinating authors. Using the new research and
testimony from those who were there at the time, the exhibition also
displays examples of the magnificent fine press and artists' books that
several of the writers made in the years after Migrant.

There was no sign of survivors, and
the poetry reading went on.
