Broadsides

Vela Noche collaborated with the Poetry Society of America in New York to publish a series of 9 broadsides that paired contemporary poets with contemporary photographers. A total of 9 broadsides were offered in 3 sets. Each set contained 3 broadsides.

About Volume 1 Set 2:

Set 2 paired poet Katie Ford with photographer Magdalena Solé. Solé’s images were made just after the tsunami hit Japan. Katie Ford has written about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Alice Quinn, the Executive Director at the Poetry Society of America, says of the broadsides, "The exquisite and dynamic pairing of poetry and photographs in this exhilarating project is entirely special. The broadsides are uniquely beautiful works of art."
