DateThursday 23 April, 2009
Joel Calahan on the recent reading by Keston Sutherland and J.H. Prynne:

It changed the way I later read the torture memos that night, in a way that I will not soon forget, because the readers confronted me with a poetry that did not give me the safety of distance.


Read the rest.
