this just in from Dlyn and Austin:

*

“an effort to ease a much awaited reunion / all your doing / the fated error of hazily”

for the volatile performance duo comprised of Austin Publicover and Dlyn Fairfax Parra (quoted) plus the soundtracks found in dreams and performance art antics a la Karen Finley, maybe Paul McCarthy circa 1981. “in the living room we weld together./A moments cruelty, a moment’s terror, a moment’s… reverence…They did it to us first!”

Saturday May 7 2005, 7 PM at Ortspace 121 East 7th Street (@ 7th Avenue) come get ZAPPED by two of Tucson’s most brazenly experimental performance poets as POG presents an evening of surprises from the underground side of the scene, a slippery syrup that gilds “the incessand demand / of these bodies / still moving.”

Dlyn Fairfax Parra, widely known and variously published for her sensuous explorations of poetry that owe as much to L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E theory as they do romantic abstractions revealing wonderment, generates delightful and challenging performances.

Austin Publicover’s current project, MS. TREMORKEEPER, explodes notions of gender and sound in fell swoop after fell swoop. An assembler of randomized, appropriated, and taxonomical terms & sound, Ms. Tremorkeeper frees the referent from its mundane servitude and connects it to the severed destinies of the Witness.
