Introspection

John Giorno
Tuesday, 5. November - 2:35 pm

John Giorno’s poetry performances strike at the core through rhythm and voice, condensing everyday moments into flashes of insight. Giorno calls his newest works "Memoirs", prose poems about encounters and events from the poet’s life. For us he will perform Lorca, Please Help Me.
