A multi-disciplinary experimental collaboration straddling words and sonic scapes between performance poet Marylyn Tan and musician Genesis Keefer, featuring poems excerpted from Marylyn's forthcoming chapbook Unclench. Audiences can expect sensorial spectacle, linguistic play and the word "mess". Some genres we will cover include Breakup Poetry, Cosmic Glory and Ambient Desire.
