Dial a poem (London, UK)

30 ECHOES

There are things that are worth bringing back from the past: Dial-a-Poem is certainly one of these.

Dial-a-Poem celebrates 50 years since John Giorno’s public art project launched in New York City.

Giorno’s Dial-a-Poem connected callers to answering machines playing recordings by poets such as Allen Ginsberg, John Cage and Patti Smith.

This sound walk is a tribute to Giorno's Dial-a-poem

I have selected thirty poems from John Giorno amazing project Dial a Poem now in Ealing, London. So, just enjoy.

All the poems from UbuWeb

Giovanna Iorio - Sound Artist (UK)

I am a sound artist and I live in UK. I am the founder of the Poetry Sound Library, an archive that preserves the voices of poets from past and present. I research ways to link poetry to the landscape. My sound walks are in UK and around the world. Among my projects there is "Voice of Trees, a sound walk to discover the voices of the most important poets from the Poetry Sound Library: monumental trees or parks receive a poet's voice and they become part of an inspiring sound installation.
