The final BathHouse reading for Fall semester is coming up. Don’t miss Julie Ezelle Patton, reading at 6:30 p.m., Nov. 9 at Sponberg Theater.
Sound poet and vocalist Julie Ezelle Patton is the author of Notes for Some (Nominally) Awake, Using Blue to Get Black, and Alphabet Soup. Her “poet-trees” encompass ephemeral books, site-specific projects, drawings, writings, sounded vibes, and what happens when sum of these natures come together. Her flying-book installation, A Room for Opal, (Olin Art Museum) comes to light in Jonathan Skinner’s “Listening with Patton” in ON: Contemporary Practice. Julie performed in 2009 on Sop Doll: A Jack Tale Noh and on Uri Caine’s 2009 Grammy nominated Othello Syndrome. In 1993 she received the New York City Arts in Education Sustained Achievement Award in Literary Arts. She has performed her work at the New York Shakespeare Festival, the Nuyorican Poets’ Cafe, the Whitney Museum, Houston’s Center for Art and Performance, and Cleveland Public Theatre’s International Sonic Disturbance Festival.
The BathHouse reading series is sponsored by the Department of English Language and Literature and by the College of Arts and Science Dean’s Program Development Initiative Grant. For more information about the BathHouse Reading Series, click here.
