Art! In which Lit Bits (Adam ‘Lit’ Smyth and James ‘Bits’ Kidd) are joined by Dinah Roe and, freshly saddled, bound off in pursuit of enlightenment on the verbal and the visual. We begin with some chatter about the Pre-Raphaelite painters who also designed books and even wrote some poems to go inside them. ----more----
We ask our usual quota of big questions. Are poems like paintings? Are frames like paratexts? How large was William Morris’ beard? Frank O’Hara is read the riot act, or at least just read. How do texts interact with images, and vice versa. Are is there really not a rhyme for orange?
Gratuitous references to Andrew Motion are included.
Can you see what it is yet?
Dinah Roe is a Reader at Oxford Brookes University, the author of The Rossettis In Wonderland: A Victorian Family History (2011) and Christina Rossetti’s Faithful Imagination and the editor of two Penguin Classics: Christina Rossetti: Selected Poems and The Pre-Raphaelites: From Rossetti to Ruskin.
