Poetry In Process: How To Un-species Through Sound

This is a performance at the intersection of language and sonic fragmentation. Poetry's movement through realm-making is dependent on how language empowers a species into its transformative self, starting with the vital element of listening. Between Lucia Hinojosa Gaxiola's somatic materiality, David Rothenberg's prescient engagement with the animal kingdom, Gryphon Rue's osmiotic sound sculpting, and Edwin Torres' bodylingo process, this quartet of sound artists will bring their wide-ranging poetic and musical discourse into improvisational alignment to initiate the fractured body as a living form — the poet as un-species through sound.
