Reading
Ghalya Saadawi + Olivia Tapiero
In wildly enchanting tonal ranges and with deep commitment to the form of the poem—its disbandment and retention—Danny Hayward and Fred Moten write poetry as a practice of love and liberation. Never afraid to dwell in negation as a passageway to freedom, their work demands the dissolution of the self in order to arrive at a we that abandons the premises of a previous world. Reading them, we are in the presence of endlessly giving music—an offering made against the scarcity of the world, a model for being, listening, and coming together.
Guest introduction by Wendy Lotterman.
