George Elliott Clarke's bebopping verse trips us back to 1971 and the Pilot Tavern, while Alisha Kaplan cracks open the heart of ancient prayer.Featuring poetry by Ayesha Chatterjee, George Elliott Clarke, Antonia Facciponte, Keith Garebian, Luke Hathaway, Alisha Kaplan, Al Moritz, Mansour Noorbakhsh, Corrado Paina, Giovanna Riccio, Armand Garnet Ruffo, Richard Sanger, Yeshim Ternar, Eleni ZisimatosThanks to the CMC Residency Program and the Toronto Arts Council for supporting this project.
