Reading Segundo, Friday April Segundo

Isn't everything always just exactly yes? I don't know. But this is, the second installment of what is perhaps the worst idea Joe Russakoff ever had will unfold like so:

FINGERTIPS OF THE VITAL BLACKBIRDS: A BALLAD


And because you're all "What's that?" here's this:

Fingertips Of The Vital Blackbirds will be a drawing and a map of notes. Noisy souls within mute consciousness. Will take place within a traveler’s satchel. Will be the worn of the travel-worn satchel. Tales told from first-hand and second-hand experience. Will be a resistance to patience and to impatience. Will be North American. Will tell of a journey that did not end; apple seeds in my pocket, my eyes in my pocket and no fiction.

Unknown Unimportant Prophetic Exaggerations from the critics of the Sun's Underworld: "Whitmanic loving" "Blakean religious disorder" "Basho observes" "Charlie Parker and John Coltrane speak speak" "Live contemporary tramp trials"

In 4 Acts

Introduced by the poet, Christopher Sweeney

Written, directed, and designed by the painter, Lisandre Whitty, and the poet, Robert Snyderman

Original Musical Undertow composed by the singing poet, Fareed Sajan, and the street accordionist, Gabrielle Doyon-Hanson

Actors: the poet and studying herbalist, Chanelle Bergeron (Soul), Lisandre Whitty (Cryptic Sunlight), Robert Snyderman (The Constant Window)

Yes, that is in fact a play, or a spot of theatre, if you prefer, and it will be followed by:
