Poets
Bruce Andrews, Rob Fitterman and Kim Rosenfield
will
be featured @Goliath in an evening of readings from their works and
more.
Bruce Andrews is "a performance artist and poet
whose texts are some of the most radical of the Language school; his
poetry tries to cast doubt on each and every 'natural' construction
of language" (The Oxford Companion to Twentieth Century Literature
in English). Andrews is a founding editor of the legendary journal
L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E, which in many ways catalyzed the new experimental
poetry movement that emerged in the 70s and 80s. His many books include
Sugar Raised (forthcoming), Lip Service, Give 'Em Enough Rope, Designated
Heartbeat, Ex Why Zee, Tizzy Boost, and I Don't Have Any Paper So
Shut Up (or, Social Romanticism). He has performed his poetry throughout
the United States, often in collaboration with dancer Sally Silvers.
Andrews is currently Associate Professor of Political Science at Fordham
University in New York.
