At first glance, Douglas Kearney's poems in his collection, Patter, consist of words clustered in impossible ways on the page, leaving the reader to wonder how they are read. Now, Kearney himself as provided recordings of his poems at The Poetry Foundation that prove to be as startling sonically as they are visually.
Hear Kearney read four of his poems featured in his collection Patter at The Poetry Foundation's website, which has also provided videos of Kearney performing two additional works, "Coverage" and "Is, Ain't."
