SLANT Editions at Present Tense — opening night.

Present Tense opens with an exhibition by SLANT Editions, a poetic mail art project initiated by Léa Guillon in Paris.

SLANT is “a poetic research project, or rather, poetry in search of reference.” The first edition, launched in November 2024, gathered 40 responses to fortnightly poetic prompts — fragments in correspondence, gestures of recognition. This exhibition holds those works and opens space for new ones.

Join us on Friday 16 May, 6–9PM

Poetry readings by
Phoenix Yemi,
Sitron Panpoulos,
Anouk Buron & Lene de Montaigu,
Jessica Todd,
and Léa Guillon.

Cut-up stations, text experiments contributions toward SLANT Edition 2.
