Poetry. LGBTQIA Studies. Audio. FLOWERS & SKY: TWO TALKS brings together two lectures and a suite of unpublished poems by one of our finest lyric poets. These intimate talks use Aaron Shurin's own work to illustrate the power and practice of image- making at the deepest level. The result is a continual act of discovery, part poetics, part literary autobiography, and part three-dimensional bibliography. The book includes a digital download of Aaron reading Sometime of the Night as well as the poems, bringing the work alive into full sonority. With the talks, poems, and recording together, the book offers a short course in poetic practice, and a glimpse into a unique life making, and made by, art.
