Carla Harryman: I read one complete essay, "Drift à Deux," the leadoff piece for Grand Piano 4.
The theme of everyday life threads through the essay's sequences of two-sentence paragraphs.
The idea of pairings motivated my choice to bookend the reading of "Drift à Deux" with excerpts
from a recent dialogue poem, "Late to Work" in Cloud Cantata and a collage poem (in GP 10) of
a reading of Kathy Acker's and Lorenzo Thomas's that took place at the Ear Inn in 1978. It was a
reading of paired sentences, conjoined text, and conversational fantasia in COVID time, followed
by an extended conversation on the topic of everyday life.
