Poetry

Imagine poetry as a series of terraces, some vast, some no bigger than a pinprick, overlooking the city of language.

Ted Greenwald (December 19, 1942–June 17, 2016)

Ted Greenwald’s poems sing the commons and dance with a homely grace American poetry has rarely seen.

'Teke Heart' by Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven at MoMA


For the opening of  Dadaglobe Reconstucted last night at the Museum of Modern Art (NY), I performed “Teke Heart” by Else Baroness von Freytag-Loringhoven (as she bills herself on the holograph ms) (1874–1927). I performed it in the gallery next to the ms of the 1921 poem, sent to Tristan Tzara for his never-published anthology Dadaglobe.
