A wonderful night at The National Gallery, with Toby Jones, Yemi Dipeolu, Nadia Jordan and I presenting new works of poetry and writing in response to paintings we chose from Room 32. The 11th in the series, which has run since 2023, it was grand to have so many people turn out in one of the grandest rooms in the gallery. I worked with both Yemi and Nadia at Kingston University, and getting to meet their families and friends, they did everyone proud. It was a pleasure too to work with Toby Jones for the first time; he was as generous, curious and brilliant as his reputation suggests. His presence certainly elevated what has consistently been an outstanding series of events. https://www.stevenjfowler.com/nationalgallery/ I wrote poems on works by Caravaggio and Gentileschi, the latter of which is on video below.
