It’s Not What Happens, It’s How You Handle It
Sunday, November 8, 12:00 – 6:00 pm
Organized by John Giorno and Mark Beasley
With Harry Burke, Todd Colby, Andrew Durbin, Ben Fama, Sophia le Fraga, Fanny
Howe, Paolo Javier, Tan Lin, Morgan Parker and Bunny Rogers
Poet, visual artist and originator of Performance Poetry John Giorno is joined by peers and
a contemporary generation of New York based poets. Giorno’s seminal Dial-A-Poem
Poets (1968) in which an audience dialed individual answering machines to hear poems by
poets such as William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and John Cage while his record label
and American artist collective Giorno Poetry Systems broadened the ‘venues’ for poetry to
records, television and radio. Giorno’s poetic use of the technology of the day mirrors the
contemporary generation’s use of language—deploying twitter-like phraseology with the
fluid and malleable text of the internet as poems and text migrate from text box to text
box and from page to page—underscoring text and the staging of language as no longer a
form fixed by the printed page.
