Who we are...
TALTUH invites poets, patrons of the art, and those who have said “I don’t understand what any of this means” alike to a space that facilitates sharing original work and the education of poetics through interviewing its readers before a live audience. Interviewing of the poets to “unpack” their work is informed by producers who work to create thorough questions based on the readers’ pieces before the evening, to allow readers to fill in the blanks while being guided to delve deeper into what their work seeks to accomplish in both form and feeling. This kind of emotional navigation of the work to be explored in earnest by the reader and the listeners to begin a cultivation of understanding of what is traditionally read between the lines.
Shows are cast with the goal to break through the homogenous noise of traditional poetry readings by placing the utmost emphasis on diversity. Lineups are curated with poets who write slam, spoken word, villanelles, or sonnets within the same show, with the objective to edify an understanding of the vast spectrum of form or lack thereof in which poetry plays. In tandem with the commitment to literary multiplicity, the emphasis on the inclusion of and prioritization of diverse voices is what lies at the heart of the series.
Time: 7:30 pm EST
