Parallax Literary Salon #3 - Joe Ross - Where Was The Flag B-E-F-O-R-E?

Joe Ross reads from Where Was The Flag B-E-F-O-R-E?, his book from Parallax, at the Parallax Literary Salon, followed by a conversation with Andrew Sweeny and Chim Nwabueze.He reads three sections from across the book, then the opening pages of his new manuscript, Beautiful (K)nots, for the first time. The conversation moves from a Zen koan about a flag in the wind to poetry as an “alert meditation” and why the reader has to take part in making the poem.Joe Ross is the author of more than fifteen books of poetry, including Equations = Equals, winner of the 2003 Gertrude Stein Poetry Award, 1000 Folds and Last Days on Earth. He was literary editor of The Washington Review from 1991 to 1997.Get the book: https://www.parallax-media.com/books/where-was-the-flag-b-e-f-o-r-eAll Parallax books: https://www.parallax-media.com/parallax-booksThe Parallax Literary Salon meets Thursdays at 8 PM Paris time on Zoom.See the full season: https://parallax.substack.com/p/the-parallax-literary-salon-autumn
