In a fresh twist, area-renown poets take the stage to perform with interpretive musicians with “The Verb Takes a Walk: Poetry Meets Music,” on Sunday, July 23, at the Lansing Performance Hall from 3:00 to 5:00. Featuring Peaches Gillette, Brooke Lange, Daphne Sola, Adin Luca, and Mike Finn, it promises to deliver poetry and music interactions in a memorably unique way.
“During Beatnik times, poetry and music hooked up,” according to Mark Zuss, former poetry professor and organizer of this Savage Club sponsored event. “But since those Kerouac days, this whole genre has been largely lost.”
Each of the “mixed media” readings that afternoon involve readings of diverse original poetry that is matched with live musical or other artform accompaniments or interpretations of that poetry. One of the many highlights is a reading by the 95-year-old poet, Daphne Sola, who will be followed by a high school protégé.
Come join us for a traditional Irish music session on Sunday at Liquid State Brewing! This is an open session, which is a community gathering where we all play tunes together. Anyone who plays Irish tunes is welcome to bring their fiddle / whistle / flute / concertina and more!
