Grand Piano Reading: Episode 9, December 29, 2022

Watch on media.SAS

Bob Perelman: I started with the beginning of my GP 6 piece where I’m quoting a grumpy Coleridge passage about how lame poetry can be to Norman Fischer and we, believing in poetry, laugh, a little ruefully. After that snippet I read “China” and “Confession.” I showed the Chinese picture book I’d used to write “China,” which sparked a lot of discussion. I ended with some new poems.
