Experience the interconnectivity of music and social and political spoken word in four movements for narrator, French horn, oboe, and piano. On this episode, J. Bradley Minnick interviews poet and artist Terry Wright about this performance piece he titles “Iterations.” This project includes Wright’s poetry and visual art, as well as music composed by Daniel De Togni and performed by Lorraine Duso Kitts and Kazuo Murakami on piano. The four featured poems in the piece are "At the Beach," "Inside the Roche Limit," “Deconstructed Canary,” and “Ripley." These poems interrogate the social and political climate of the Obama and Trump years through a visceral, aggressive mashup of found artifacts from deep within internet search engines. Terry Wright is a writer and artist who lives in Little Rock. He’s written seven books and chapbooks of poetry, and his work has appeared widely in publications ranging from McSweeney’s to Rolling Stone . His art is also widely seen in venues like Full Bleed
