Isaac Rosenberg, one of the greatest of the First World War poets and a talented artist, has not received the widespread recognition he deserves.
The time has come to remedy this.
You can help by supporting plans for a statue in his memory at Torrington Square on the Birkbeck College campus in Bloomsbury. The proximity to the two great learning centres in Rosenberg's life. Birkbeck and the Slade, makes this a fitting memorial to his genius.
London has just one sculpture in Britain of a Jewish literary figure (Benjamin Disraeli), and only four statues commemorating great poets.
On April 1st, 2018, the anniversary of Rosenberg's death in the trenches, there will be five.
