Poet and Sound Artist Lawrence Upton Dies
"[H]e is probably best known for his collaboration with Bob Cobbing: from 1994 to 2000, he and Cobbing wrote and performed the collaborative visual poem Domestic Ambient Noise, which ran to some 2,000 pages and hundreds of performances. They also co-edited the groundbreaking Word Score Utterance Choreography (Writers Forum, 1998), a primer for the performance of visual poetry."

What Sparks Poetry:
Martha Collins on Psalm 19
"One night when I was nine years old, when the stars and moon were shining brightly, my mother took me to the window and read the first verses of the 19th Psalm to me. That was a long time ago, so the version I heard was the King James, which is still....the translation I like to read. I was, as we would say now, blown away. I had heard and loved music all my short life, but I had never heard anything as beautiful as that Psalm." |
