LYNETTE YIADOM BOAKYE: FLY IN LEAGUE WITH THE NIGHT (PB)

Lynette Yiadom-Boakye is both a painter and a writer of poetry and prose, and for her, the two forms of creativity complement each other: ‘The things I can’t paint, I write, and the things I can’t write, I paint.’ This publication provides a comprehensive account of her practice over the past two decades. With essays by the poet Elizabeth Alexander, among others, alongside new writing by Yiadom-Boakye, this insightful monograph reflects the dual aspects of the artist’s practice and provides an intimate insight into her creative process.
