Thursday, February 24, 6:00 PM Poetry Off the Shelf
Multimedia pioneer Edwin Torres brings us “Performance Poetry in the Age of Language,” a reading beyond text. He has been presenting his energetic blend of poetry, performance, music, dance, and visual art since the late 1980s. Born at New York City’s Nuyorican Poets Café, as midwifed by the St. Mark’s Poetry Project, his unique performance poetry now comes to Chicago. The reading is immediately followed by a reception at Columbia College's Center for Book and Paper Arts, where his new book, Yes Thing No Thing, will be on display. Co-sponsored with Poetry, Columbia College English Department, and the Center for Book & Paper Arts
