by Duncan Heining

Imagine the national newspapers queuing round the block for interviews.

Jon Raskin and Clara Harryman: Open Box
by Eyal Hareuveni
Among the varied collaborations between poets and musicians, or the adaptation of poetry to music, the setting of Carla Harryman's genre-busting poetry to improvised music by ROVA Saxophone Quartet's Jon Raskin is outstanding. Not only because of Harryman's avant-garde poetic language--often focusing on the language itself, its contradictions and shortcomings--subverting its attempts to capture the fleeting ...
