Live from The Flow Chart Foundation: Other Influences: "An Untold History of Feminist Avant Garde Poetry" (Audio)
On Friday, August 1st, at the Flow Chart Space, a conversation took place between poets Joan Retallack, erica kaufman and Evelyn Reilly, introduced and facilitated by Marcella Durand and Jennifer Firestone, co-editors of Other Influences: An Untold History of Feminist Avant-Garde Poetry.
The evening served to celebrate the new anthology, and was a rare chance to hear these three writers discuss their long friendship, mutual influences, "experimental spirit," and the enduring impact of Retallack's work and "The Poethical Wager," which, as Retallack writes, is "a certain poetics of responsibility with the courage of the swerve."
This program was made possible with support from the New York State Council on the Arts, Hover Foundation, Hudson River Bank & Trust, and Friends of The Flow Chart Foundation.
