Poetry of the World

The Southbank Centre held Poetry Parnassus on 26th June to 1st July.  I wasn't in London at the time so I don't feel too bad about discovering I could have potentially finished my world tour within the space of 6 days.

However, a number of the poets from around the world have had their poems displayed along the Southbank. These were the poets who were unable to attend the festival.

 

Pinta: The Modern & Contemporary Latin American Art Show

I've occasionally thought that it's not as easy to find Latin American art in London as it is to find European, North American and African art.  So I was pleased to see Pinta advertised in the tube and even more pleased to find a voucher online for a free ticket.
