"Close Listening:
Poetry and the Performed Word is a collection of essays on the
poetry reading and poetry as performance that I edited for Oxford
University Press. We had a launch for the book at Double Happiness
in Chinatown in New York, the site of a weekly Saturday afternoon
poetry reading series. I set parts of my introduction to the book
using "Willow Talk", a voice synthesizing program that is no longer
available." |
