Description

Two San Francisco Bay Area poets who have approached readings and poetry teaching in experimental ways are featured performing their poems together with music played on flutes, thumb pianos and drums. Stephen Vincent and Susie Garrett (Scofield) (accompanied by Jeff Booker) read a number of poems, "cross read", and speak about their activities in the Bay Area poetry scene. Vincent also talks briefly about "Shocks," his new critical magazine with a focus on Bay Area poets, readings and books.
