Intertitles anthology explores poetry's role at art-writing intersection

The collection titled Intertitles features 32 contributors at the intersection of writing and visual art, positing that poetry bridges the gap between exclusive formalism and easily digestible simplicity. Edited by Jess Chandler, Aimee Selby, Hana Noorali, and Lynton Talbot, this Prototype Publishing release is available in softcover for £15. Notable poets include Sophie Collins, who reacts to Lee Bul's sculpture with intense language and striking rhythms, and CAConrad, who pairs surprising imagery with heartfelt honesty. Quinn Latimer explores intricate personal and political themes, while Johanna Hedva offers critiques of patriarchy through essay-memoir formats. Anaïs Duplan provides collages, and Inua Ellams links Clondalkin and Compton through Tupac. The editors prioritize accessible art writing that invites reader interpretation, aiming to introduce contemporary writers rather than establish a new canon. The anthology suggests that when form follows content, readers will engage more deeply, moving past avant-garde pretensions toward future aesthetics.
