To begin ...

As the twentieth century fades out
the nineteenth begins
.......................................again
it is as if nothing happened
though those who lived it thought
that everything was happening
enough to name a world for & a time
to hold it in your hand
unlimited.......the last delusion
like the perfect mask of death

Readings for March & April: A Special Announcement


Settled in after the very large, sweet & incredibly upbeat poetry festival & celebration in Granada, Nicaragua, I’m engaging in seven weeks of further renewal in the hometown (New York City) & with the hope of seeing as many old & new friends as possible. The following anyway is for those in New York & thereabouts who may want to drop by at one of the presently scheduled readings or let me know about meeting up otherwise:

Wednesday, March 13, 8:00 P.M.: Reading & pre-launch of Eye of Witness: A Jerome Rothenberg Reader (Black Widow Press), with co-editor Heriberto Yépez, at St Marks Poetry Project, 2nd Avenue and 10th Street.

Thursday, March 14, 5:00 p.m.: Reading at Bard College, exact location TBA.

Sunday March 17, 2:00 P.M.: Reading, for North Manhattan Arts Alliance, at Cornerstone Church, Bennett Avenue and 189th Street.

Saturday March 23, 2:00 P.M.: Retrospective performance of collaborations with Charlie Morrow, composer, at Ear Up Gallery (above the Ear Inn), 326 Spring Street.

Monday April 8, 6:30 P.M.: Reading, with Pierre Joris, at DIA, Readings in Contemporary Poetry, 535 West 22nd Street, 5th Floor.

In addition there’s to be a reading at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, on April 2, for which I still lack the final details.

Aside from that the work continues, as it always has.
