This coming Thursday, April 25th, 2013 at 7PM, the Wolfsonian FIU and O' Miami, a biennial poetry festival, will present a free event of experimental performance entitled "positive degree adjective of definition / but still in no danger of dehydration" by Utah-based poet Craig Dworkin andNew York-based poet Steven Zultanski.
Dworkin, a critic, editor, and professor at the University of Utah, focuses on the artistic avant-garde, combining radically innovative subjects with such traditional critical methodologies as archival research, textual studies, and philology.
He is the author of multiple books of poetry and criticism, including No Medium (2013), Motes (2011), and The Perverse Library (2010).
Zultanski is the author of Agony (2012), Cop Kisser (2010) and Pad (2010), and the co-curator of the Segue Reading Series and an occasional editor.
His recent work, Agony, is the first in a trilogy of long confessional poems that “attempt autobiography as a refutation of autobiography, and an elevation of the self as self-effacement.”
Following the event, there will be a book signing of current titles.
