Notes - Field Theories (with Samiya Bashir and keyon gaskin) /
Last summer, Samiya Bashir and I sat down to talk about making a video for her book of poetry FIELD THEORIES (Nightboat Books, 2017). One video became six: one per month until the book's release. We worked with the incomparable movement artist keyon gaskin who appears in all six videos, and many generous people participated in Field Theories #4. The six videos will be woven together into one continuous film for the month of March.
I'm honored and proud to share Field Theories #6 (February):

Notes - Poetry Press Week /
Last weekend, my company Patuá Films documented Poetry Press Week's Spring 2016 show at Disjecta Contemporary Art Center.
From Poetry Press Week's website:
In a Poetry Press Week show, poets present their unpublished work in 10-12 minute, live, conceptual runway shows to an audience of publishers, press, and the general public. Poets present their work via “models” and other various media, staging, and effects to produce a three-dimensional experience of their poetry. Full poem text as it would potentially appear in print is projected alongside or in conjunction with the presentation.
