"Beyonsense": An evening of sound poetry with Ilya Kutik and Christian Bök

Mark you calendars, Russophiles! Metarealist poet Ilya Kutik and sound poet Christian Bök will join forces November 2nd for an evening of avant-garde readings in Russian and English.

The event will take place at the Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University, as part of the exhibit Tango with Cows: Book Art of the Russian Avant-Garde, 1910 - 1917, which explores collaborations between Russian Futurist poets and writers.

Bök will perform historical poems, along with some of his own work, which has been called "jaw-dropping" (Village Voice) and, being sound poetry, really should be, uh, heard. Check it out:
