10 years of Tab: The Journal of Poetry & Poetics

The Escalette Collection’s latest exhibition features 10 years of Tab: The Journal of Poetry & Poetics. Founded in 2013 by poet and nonfiction writer Anna Leahy (Professor of English) and designer Claudine Jaenichen (Professor of Graphic Design), Tab Journal is an international poetry periodical. Tab Journal’s tagline “space before text” announces that design of both text and space create various poetry reading experiences. They believe that inclusive experiences begin with design—of policies, of practices, of pages, of poems.

Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences is the proud home of the Phyllis and Ross Escalette Permanent Art Collection. The collection is supported by an endowment established by the late Phyllis and Ross Escalette, and is comprised mostly of contemporary and modern paintings, prints, and sculpture. Rather than being housed in a museum or gallery, The Escalette Collection functions as a “museum without walls” where artwork is displayed throughout the Chapman campus in hallways, public spaces, and study areas. The collection is free and open to the public to view.
