Harold Abramowitz & Amanda Ackerman Prompt Carless Angelenos to Read Poems This Sunday

Attention all "carless Angelenos"! This Sunday, Harold Abramowitz and Amanda Ackerman have quite a reading for you, to take place during this year's CicLAvia ("an experience, not a race"). At Jacket Copy, Carolyn Kellogg reports that the readers include Sister Spit contributor Myriam Gurba; feminist poet Margaret Rhee; three CalArts alumni -- K. Bradford, Laura Vena and Saehee Cho; and Los Angeles Road Concerts curator Stephen Van Dyck.

In their readings, all will be responding to a prompt from Abramowitz and Ackerman: "We would ask that the work you bring to read, new or old, written or as yet unwritten, respond to the idea of the river, or any other body, flowing, and the cyclists, or any other bodies, moving through space, in other words, responses that might involve duration and moving through space, or works of spatial and temporal duration... or works that reflect what a piece of writing might look like if the audience were the cyclist/river -- in other words, work that would suit a reader who is in motion (flowing, whirring through space) instead of static/sitting in place? What kind of writing could be written and then read to the moving river/moving body?"
