Description
Poetry. Fiction. SIXTY MORNING WALKS is a sixty-part meditation inspired by Utagawa Hiroshige's kaleidoscopically shifting vantage on the ever-changing city. The project's companion piece (SIXTY MORNING TALKS), also available at SPD and on Ugly Duckling Presse's website, revisits many of the same New York locations, yet now with its language contracted out to an error-prone online transcription service. The unmediated / mediated idiom of these two halves disrupts any easy reading of the overall project as a lyrical or conceptual text.
