Curated by Zachary Pace, Projection features text projected beside the reader to produce a unique sonic and visual experience of the literary arts. A great deal of kinetic energy is lost when an audience simply hears a poem. Listeners will view the choices made by author on the page--including word-choice, syntax and line-length--therefore receiving the work in its complete presentation. Projection inaugurates the first performative-literary event at CPR.
TINA CHANG was raised in New York City. Newly appointed Brooklyn Poet Laureate, she is the author of Half-Lit Houses (Four Way Books) and co-editor of the anthology Language for a New Century: Contemporary Poetry from the Middle East, Asia, and Beyond (W.W. Norton, 2008). Her poems have been published in American Poet, Indiana Review, McSweeney's, The Missouri Review, Ploughshares, Quarterly West, Sonora Review, among others. She has received awards from the Academy of American Poets, the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund, the Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation, the New York Foundation for the Arts, Poets & Writers, the Van Lier Foundation among others. She teaches poetry at Sarah Lawrence College and Hunter College. Her new book, Of Gods & Strangers, is forthcoming in 2011 from Four Way Books.
