Coldfront Presents: Occupy Wall Street and Poetry
“DJ Dolack shot this video in and around Zuccotti Park in October, 2011. We published an open call asking poets to meet us down there and be filmed reading a poem that, for them, contextualized the Occupy Wall Street movement. Infinite thanks to the bold and bright poets who participated.
Poets: Kate Angus, Alex Cuff, John Deming, Christine Kanownik, Steven Karl, Paul Legault, Kendra Grant Malone, Filip Marinovich, Mike McDonough, Rebecca Murray, Martin Rock, Matthew Savoca, Justin Taylor, Melinda Wilson, Hitomi Yoshio, Matthew Zapruder. Reading poems by: Mark Bibbins, Edward Dorn, Buckminster Fuller, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Hayden, Mina Loy, Campbell McGrath, Kiriu Minashita, Charles Olson, Jacques Prevert, Thomas Sayers Ellis, Delmore Schwartz, William Shakespeare, William Carlos Williams, Matthew Zapruder.”
More info and videos at Coldfront. Take a break and watch it and go back to Zuccotti for a moment.
