Michael Deyermond
the mad chapel
November 29– January 17, 2026
Artist Talk: January 17, 11am

Michael Deyermond is the quintessential tragic poet who came to the West because he thought California could save him. A writer, a bookstore owner with a cult following and a multi-media visual artist, Deyermond's artwork references Robinson Jeffers, the Beat generation, William Everson, all the great poets that dug and mined the Golden State. His new exhibition at Craig Krull Gallery, the mad chapel, equates his soul-searching with the divine, a rare level of profound beatitude that poet Gregory Corso declared was attributable only to Kerouac and Shelley.
