An evening of spoken poetry with Timothy P. McLaughlin
Timothy P. McLaughlin is an oral poet, and hence his texts are like musical scores; they are meant to be voiced aloud, their rhythms and tones sounded on the breath so they can join the conversation already underway between the thrumming crickets and the coyotes and the wind whooshing through the telephone wires. Yet these clustered words can also be viewed as cairns -- piles of precise stones or terms, marking McLaughlin's way into the many-voiced forest, investigating the way in which human language, by praising, transforms to prayer.
