Cassettes and book International Sound Poetry Festival NY 1980
Sean McCann of RECITAL (CA USA) has launched the Archival set of cassettes and a book documenting the International Sound Poetry Festival in New York April 1980 run by Charlie Morrow of the New Wilderness Foundation. Embedded in Sean’s website is the 10 minute video of me speaking about SOUND AND SOUND POETRY made in my Archive by Claire Mills for Charlie who had invited me to perform JETAKEOFF and POPCORN INDIVIDUALS at his comprehensive week-long event, now highly regarded and preserved through Sean’s initiative.
