Walk And Pub Evening Of Conversation And Readings About William Blake

Minute Particulars : Visions in the Stockbroker Belt
An evening with Nick Papadimitriou

Kathleen Raine once described suburbia as a ‘desolation deliberately created’, a ‘terrible negation’ that brings death to the poetic impulse. Nick Papadimitriou, author of Scarp: In Search of London’s Outer Limits, strongly disagrees. His practice of Deep Topography involves an intimate engagement with seemingly ordinary places. Like Blake, he focuses on ‘minute particulars’ in order to pass through appearances
and into a visionary dimension. We will gather at Hampstead Tube Station and then walk up through Hampstead and over the Heath to the Spaniards Inn where we will
enjoy an evening of conversation and readings with Nick Papadimitriou.
