silliman's reading

Smaller turnout than I'd expected, probably between 30-40. I was unprepared for the vigor and speed of his delivery, which heightened the senses of clarity and density. Image on top of image, image after image, frames of a film in which the subject matter of every frame is radically different from the preceding frame -- and yet an event seems in the process of unfolding, an event which spans many frames. That's probably not the best analysis of his poetry, but that's what the experience of listening to it was like. Immensely enjoyable.
