(If embed not playing, click here.) Terrific audio recording of my March, 2011 reading at Dia: Chelsea with the great John Ashbery, one of my all-time favorite poets. I read (with projected illustrations) from my bestiary of a chapbook, Megton Gasgan Krakooom (Cy Gist Press), in addition to performing “Monty & Turtle”, my live video narration piece that serves as the penultimate chapter of my recent full-length, The Feeling Is Actual (Marsh Hawk Press). Many thanks to Vincent Katz and Dia: Chelsea for the memorable reading.
