New York City Book Launch for Barrett Watten's ZONE: correlations 1973 2021 with readings and performances at Torn Page.
We begin with zone as a spatial concept through which the question of boundary and form is undecided and fluid. Activating the concept in poetry, performance, and a poet-artist’s reflection on the concept and experience of zone:
Barrett Watten will conduct a dérive across the territory of Zone, sampling its twelve regions on the border between Chance and Form.
As present absence, Steve Benson saunters across mutually unintelligible patches of implacable culture.
Thanks to an initiative in cultural exchange, Marjorie Welish remembers an experience during her art residency in Łódź, Poland.
Guillame Apollinaire, Emily Dickinson, and hosts Lee Ann Brown and Carla Harryman will contribute poetry, song, and recitation.
