Mesh­works at Miami of Ohio (admirably man­aged by Keith Tuma, cris cheek, Justin Katko, and Daniel Ered­i­tario) has some video posted of the Oxford (OH) leg of the British poets’ US tour. (Said poets being Andrea Brady, Keston Suther­land, and Peter Manson, all fea­tured in the British Poetry Issue of Chicago Review.)

They’ve also got video of Sean Bonney, Mairéad Byrne, Tom Leonard, Bernadette Mayer, Stephen Rode­fer, and Tom Raworth. Plus, footage from the Con­tem­po­rary Exper­i­men­tal Women’s Poetry Fes­ti­val at Cam­bridge last year.

…of the Archive of the Now, here’s one of the most impres­sive read­ings of a poem (”Cocaine” by John Wein­ers) I’ve ever heard.

Tom Raworth will be awarded the Anto­nio Delfini life­time achieve­ment award at the San Carlo Foun­da­tion in Modena on June 23. It’s as good an excuse as any to track down his Col­lected, pub­lished by Car­canet in the UK and reviewed by Mar­jorie Perloff [PDF] for the TLS. And/or check out Raworth’s page at Andrea Brady’s Archive of the Now, where you can hear him read from his work.
