A daily series of multivocal\u00a0poetry\u00a0readings featuring writers from around the world.

We inhabit a polyphonic world where many languages and literature flourish. Globalization, technology, migration and the impact
\n<\/span>of diasporic \u2018travelling tongues\u2019 make these increasingly accessible to each other.
\nYet, the phenomenon of dominant languages and monolinguistic attitudes threaten to flatten out the delightful diversity
\nand plurality of the ways in which we speak and write.
\nA session that celebrates the spoken word and writers all the way from Mauritius, Iceland, Brazil, Latvia, Luxembourg, Croatia and Macedonia.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

THE CROSSING \u2014 DONALD NALLY, CONDUCTOR<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Month of Moderns 2013:<\/span>\u00a0The Gulf (between you and me)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

June 15th, 23RD, & 30th.<\/em><\/span><\/em>
\n<\/em><\/strong>The Gulf (between you and me)<\/em>, a major project that has taken years of planning, brings together composers, a poet, an artist, and a variety of musicians from Japan and America to join The Crossing in exploring a particular theme: how we seem to hear what the earth is saying to us with the same sad inability with which we often listen to those we most love.\u00a0 Luxembourg-American poet\u00a0Pierre Joris<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>has written a three-part poem that will tie the three performances and composers of this project together.\u00a0 (Two of the composers are relatively new to choral writing; eager to be among the first to have their emerging languages applied to our art, we\u2019re workshopping their ideas on October 13 \u2013 open to the public!)\u00a0 To get to know all three composers better, we offer ancillary events \u2013 a film and two concerts \u2013 that will give insight to the artists\u2019 work.\u00a0 We welcome\u00a0Chris Jonas\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0quartet,\u00a0Sun Spits Cherries<\/strong>, andGene Coleman\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0ensemble of Japanese musicians playing a variety of traditional and contemporary instruments in\u00a0Ensemble N_JP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia composer\u00a0Gene Coleman\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0musical language is at times experimental, at other times minimal, often drawing on Japanese influences, improvisation, extended techniques, and Gene\u2019s interest in architecture and structure to create a rich and unique sound world.<\/p>\n

The Gulf (between you and me)<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0continues with the musical world of Santa Fe composer\u00a0Chris Jonas<\/strong>\u00a0in a work that offers a musical language different from any The Crossing has yet sung.\u00a0 This is a collaborative work with graphics created by Philadelphia artist\u00a0Dan Cole<\/strong>projected on the 100\u2019 x 25\u2019 foot great wall of the IceBox, intended to be heard in the magnificent acoustic of this modern secular cathedral; we celebrate this wonderful performance venue in the first of four programs to be heard over the next two seasons.<\/p>\n

After his visit during MoM 2011, the singers of The Crossing were so enamored of British composer Gabriel Jackson\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0that we set about engaging this internationally-recognized composer for a very special event. Gabriel will compose the third and final installment of\u00a0Pierre Joris\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0poem cycle for\u00a0The Gulf (between you and me)<\/em>; this\u00a0promises to be an important evening for The Crossing, as we sing in Gabriel\u2019s thoroughly engaging musical language..<\/p>\n

at the\u00a0UNH Bookstore<\/strong>\u00a0on the West Haven campus.<\/p>\n

Randall Horton, UNH assistant professor of English, said the evening promises to be an engaging one. \u201cPierre Joris is one of the most important poets of my generation and beyond,\u201d Horton said. \u201cHe is a poet of the world and one sees a \u2018world view\u2019 in the body of his work. People who come out will be thoroughly mesmerized at not only Joris\u2019 reading but his life experiences within the literary community. This will be a total experience.\u201d Joris has translated works by\u00a0Pablo Picasso<\/a>,\u00a0Maurice Blanchot<\/a>,\u00a0Edmond Jab\u00e8s<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Habib Tengour<\/a>\u00a0into English and books by\u00a0Jack Kerouac<\/a>,\u00a0Gregory Corso<\/a>, Pete Townsend and\u00a0Sam Shepard<\/a>\u00a0into French.<\/p>\n

DOMOPOETICS: Personal & Shared Artistic Practices<\/strong>
\n<\/i>A\u00a0<\/i>Multimedia\u00a0<\/i>performance by Pierre Joris & Nicole Peyrafitte<\/p>\n

Domopoetics<\/i>\u00a0is a performance that meanders dialogically between Pierre Joris\u2019 poems, translations & thinking, and Nicole Peyrafitte\u2019s drawings & videos, voice- & textual work.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joris\u2019 nomadic writerly processes & their insistence on a \u201cbarzakh\u201d\u00a0 \u2014 a navigable archipelago of \u201cin-betweens\u201d \u2014 & Peyrafitte\u2019s concept of \u201cVulvic space\u201d \u2014 a homeomorphic topology or transformable conceptual space enhancing the exchanges between self & other(s) \u2014 come together in what can be called a \u201cdiastolic flux.\u201d Theoretically describable as moving between a somewhat deleuzian energy of plateaus & stages & a more Irigaray-ian awareness based on difference and infiltration, while always anchored in a processual practical poetics & art making, the couple\u2019s collaboration started in the early 90s, & includes a range of duo multimedia performances, many book covers & illustrations, & the raising of two sons.<\/p>\n

\n Trialogues are improvised collaborative exchanges inside a set time limit between 3 protagonists unconditionally dedicated to their chosen mode of expression: Joris to his nomadic poetry in its wandering, rhizomatic explorations; Peyrafitte to her nourishing, sensual, campy and scintillating multi-layered vocal range & texts ; Bisio to the extraordinary tonal beauty and intensity of the very personal musical language of his double bass.<\/span><\/p>\n
