Our Flesh of Flames::Theodore A. Harris / Amiri Baraka
collagist Theodore A. Harris will be presenting a recorded performance by the late poet Amiri Baraka reading his poem "Our Flesh of Flames" as composed in conjunction with Harris' collaged images. Copies of Harris' book of collages with Baraka's poem will be available at the event for purchase.
Our Flesh of Flames “Posed against an eerily iridescent orange sky,” and Harris’ collaged landscapes are filled with urban dystopia. Upside down capitols, distorted bank notes pose the reality of a society fettered by the cash nexus. Controversial critic and poet Amiri Baraka provides lyrical assault through his captions with his trademark humor and biting social commentary.
Theodore A. Harris is a collagist, poet, and has co-authored:
Our Flesh of Flames with Amiri Baraka
Malcolm X as Ideology with Fred Moten
i ran from it and was still in it and TRIPTYCH: Text by Amiri Baraka and Jack Hirschman.
