From The New York Times, 15 Sept. 07

“Among the clichés of New York life is that the city’s streets are their own kind of theater, that there is a certain visual poetry in the millions of iPod wearers, cellphone talkers, street hawkers, office workers, tourist gawkers and other pedestrians making their way somewhere each and every minute of every day. But this week, on a block in front of City Hall, the theater of the streets became quite literal for a few hundred uncynical customers and those gawking passers-by who happened past.” Read more here.

From Minus Spine, 7 Sept. 07
“…the first issue of New Acquisition, a literary pamphlet (that’s also online). This issue is all about apocalyptical goings-on, and has got a deadpan essay by Alexis Clements called “Your Own Personal Apocalypse” and a funny, tongue-in-cheek poem by Beth Royer called “Sure Signs of the Apocalypse.” If you are in NYC, check out the New Acquisition performances that seem to combine readings, videos, artwork and chicken farming. Yes, that’s right. Chicken farming.” See the original post here.
