SOMEWHERE NEAR HERE by Yusef Komunyakaa

5/15/2013 3:31:32 PM

Event Date: 6/3/2013 2:00:00 PM

The now-legendary group of 1950s American poets called the New York School—including John Ashbery, Barbara Guest, Kenneth Koch, and Frank O’Hara—crossed artistic disciplines and collaborated frequently with painters, sculptors, and theatre artists including Julian Beck and Judith Malina of The Living Theatre. Together, these forward-thinking artists created a hive of activity that might be considered a precursor to today’s Off-Off Broadway theatre scene. But what is the state of such cross-disciplinary involvement today? The Segal devotes a day to revisiting these seminal collaborations between poetry and theatre and to highlighting the legacy of the poetry/theatre connection in New York. With an afternoon of readings from contemporary writers who traverse both theatre and poetry, including Ariana Reines, Kenneth Goldsmith, Bob Holman, Christopher Knowles, and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Yusef Komunyakaa, followed by an evening reading of Frank O’Hara’s early play Try! Try! A Noh Play, presentations of poetry by Lemon Anderson and Sibyl Kempson, and an unmissable conversation with Judith Malina (Cofounder, The Living Theatre).
