Moving Lines: Poetry & Spoken Word Scores - Paperback

by John C. Barney (Author)

This collection of writings explores and spans the range of spoken word performance from traditional poems that can be read aloud to visual scores with words that serve as frameworks for improvisation. The terrain of these works shifts from everyday engineered grey and blue infrastructure to the green infrastructure of garden, park and natural features. The works are preoccupied with the "line," whether it is the physical line in the landscape or the poetic line, and its shifting in time and space through narrative and/or improvisation.
