As part of our Gulf (between you and me) project, The Crossing commissioned famed poet Pierre Joris to write three poems. These poems have inspired the amazing and varied compostions by Gene Coleman, Chris Jonas, andGabriel Jackson, that you will hear throughout the Month of Moderns.
Before we present MoM I at the Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral, come hear Pierre read his poems Rigwreck, Love at First Sight, and Dis/aster. We will provide a printed copy of these poems to all MoM2013 attendees.
Pierre Joris has moved between the US, Europe & North Africa for 50 years, publishing over 40 books of poetry, essays and translations. In 1992 he returned to the Mid-Hudson valley & teaches poetry & poetics at the State University of New York, Albany. He lives with his wife, the performance artist and singer Nicole Peyrafitte, in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn since 2008.
