Very Different Animals in NYT Arts Beat

Who knew I'd be mentioned in the New York Times Arts Beat with John Ashberry, Adrienne Rich, James Dickey and Daniil Kharms? I love almost all of those poets! A big shout-out also goes to Nicole Donnelly who painted the incredible covers/canvasses.

with tomorrow's sun

Enter the ICA for a historical unfolding of the cultural capital of glitter, a surfacing of shimmering abandon at times of political and economic precariousness. The festivities will begin at 6pm with a site-specific performance in ICA's Project Space by artist Field Kallop: and upon each stood a siren, borne around in its revolution (2013). The performance will be followed by a talk on the exhibition Glitter and Folds by 2011-2013 Whitney-Lauder Curatorial Fellow Jennifer Burris in ICA's auditorium. Philadelphia poet Frank Sherlock —author of Over Here (2009) and The City Real & Imagined (with CAConrad, 2010)—will conclude the evening with a reading of his utopian verse.
