Writers of Jazz Poetry Month Spotlight: Daniel Borzutsky

 

Jazz Poetry Month 2018 presents: Daniel Borzutzky     Saturday, September 22nd 7 p.m.  City of Asylum @ Alphabet City 40 W. North Avenue FREE!   Free tickets 9/22   Jazz Poetry Month Concerts include both a full one-hour jazz set plus a series of rehearsed jazz-poetry collaborations.  There is nothing like Jazz Poetry anywhere. It is unique to Pittsburgh.  The collaborations are created and rehearsed on the day of the concert and are much tighter and different than pure improvisations created "in the moment."  In the words of the great poet Yusef Komunyakkaa after his own Jazz Poetry collaboration,  "If any ghosts of the Beats were hanging around that night, they were finally learning something about how music and words can reach an unbelievable register of bittersweet truth that's unforgettable."  On September 22nd, Daniel Borzutzky--along with writers from Venezuela, Algeria and China, courtesy of the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa-- will join internationally-renowned jazz pianist Claudio Cojaniz for a one-time-only jazz and poetry performance, created and rehearsed just for us.  Born in­­ Pittsburgh to Chilean parents, Daniel Borzutzky is known nationally for his portrayals of various kinds of political violence. He is the author of The Performance of Becoming Human, which won the 2016 National Book Award in poetry. Also sought-after as a translator, he received a PEN/Heim Translation Fund Grant for his translation of The Country of Planks by the Chilean poet Raúl Zurita.    Free tickets 9/22   Download the Full Jazz Poetry Calendar Here!   Brugge on North is open for drinks, appetizers, or dinner before and after the program. Dinner reservations at Brugge are limited, so advance reservations are recommended.     Call 412-226-9740 to make a reservation at Brugge on North
