Poiesis VII
We’re happy to announce the newest and largest-ever volume of POIESIS: A Journal of the Arts & Communication, Volume VII. This issue has a new interior and exterior design and includes two sections. We begin with a special tribute to the late and legendary philosopher Jacques Derrida, with many evocative articles written by his close students, colleagues and friends. The second half of POIESIS VII is devoted to an exploration of the arts, community, and social change: mural-making with underprivileged Bronx youth, a fascinating account of Black Mountain College (an experimental liberal arts college in North Carolina), views on the entanglement of politics, ethics and aesthetics, and an interview with six members of the Toronto Playback Theatre Project. The articles are interspersed with the work of 19 exceptional poets and 13 visual artists whose work appears in full colour. A monumental and breathtakingly beautiful annual tribute to the expressive arts and communication.
