more details » Hymns To Hermes: The Poetics of James Broughton at SF Main Library Hymns To Hermes: The Poetics of James Broughton. Exhibition curated by Joey Cain James C. Hormel Gay and Lesbian Center Main Library, Third Floor, 100 Larkin Street, San Francisco October 12, 2013 through January 16, 2014 Check exhibit hours at http://sfpl.org/index.php?pg=1014710001&fullsite=true This exhibit explores the poetic world of gay Bay Area poet and avant-garde film maker James Broughton. From his involvement with the San Francisco Poetry Renaissance in the 1940s through to his gay love inspired poems of the 1990s, Broughton's vision and voice was unique and slyly alluring. Fusing whimsy, paradox and an exhilarating use of the English language, James created masterpieces of poetics. Along the way he partnered with lover Kermit Sheets to found The Centaur Press, helped to create American avant-garde poetic film making and worked with Bay Area gay publisher Manroot Press. For the last 25 years of his life he and his soul mate, the artist Joel Singer, created together and operated the Syzygy Press. All these aspects of James life and work are looked at in this exhibition along with a generous helping of his poetry.
