Littoral: Poetry Out Loud
Poetry Out Loud was a series of ten LPs released between 1969 and 1977 as a sort of "magazine of oral poetry." The driving forces behind Poetry Out Loud were two couples: Peter and Patricia B McGarry (Harleman), from Topeka, Kansas, and Klyd and Linda Watkins, from Nashville; together they followed their muse of "taking poetry off the page," seeking a centuries-long end-around back to the oral tradition. As Peter said it then, "The poem on the page has no relationship to the poet. There has to be an integral relationship between poet, performer and audience." In other words, this is word-as-sound art, a heavy trip. ISSUE Project Room will present a rare live performance with Klyd and Linda Watkins, Bebe McGarry along with special guest Tom Carter, Keith Connolly and Messages.
