Beauty isn't enough (PoemTalk #198)

Larry Price, poems from "1/0"

LISTEN TO THE SHOW

Al Filreis convened Larry Price, William Fuller (traveling from Chicago), and Sophia DuRose to talk about three new poems by Larry Price. Bill Fuller selected for us three prose-poem sections or pages from Larry's new book titled 1/0. Larry’s PennSound page at the time of our conversation did not yet include recordings of this new writing, so we asked Larry to perform these poems toward the start of the episode. Earlier on the day of the session Larry spent time in the Wexler Studio at the Kelly Writers House recording more poems from 1/0 and other selections from his previous books.

You can read the poems we discuss by clicking here. Larry's PennSound page is here. And Bill Fuller's — to whom we are grateful for his curation and for making the long trip to be part of the discussion — can be found here.
