Polyvocal Poetry in Ladd's Circle! 7/18!

Spare Room presents

Portland Polyvocal Poetry

Sunday, July 18th
2:00-4:00 pm

Ladd Circle
(SE 16th & Harrison, between Hawthorne & Division)

FREE

Performers, poets, and friends will gather to test the capability of the poem as conversation. Many of the poems performed on Sunday will be from years past, and by poets no longer with us; others contemporary and presented by their authors. All will be performed by multiple voices, some by speaking or singing chorus, and several will include the opportunity for audience creativity and participation. Please bring your own refreshments and accommodations for seating (towels or folding chairs).

Now available: Chris Daniels' POROUS NOMADIC

There's a new airfoil chapbook, porous, nomadic, by Berkeley's Chris Daniels. You can order it here. Rodney Koeneke blogged about it, with characteristic acumen, here. And I just stumbled on this 2006 interview between Chris and Kent Johnson, mostly about Fernando Pessoa and translation, over at Jacket.
