How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
What to do about a telethon other than fuck it up? Poet, tarotist, artist, and librarian Cyrée Jarelle Johnson returns to IWBWYE to read the 1980s and ’90s for what those decades were: practice for now.
