LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs and Rachel Levitsky: October 3, 2013

The Poetry Center presents LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs and Rachel Levitsky, reading their work and engaging with one another and their audience. Diggs, accompanying herself with electronic music, reads from her new book TwERK (belladonna* collaborative, 2013) and performs the poem "I Am New York City" by Jayne Cortez, who died the prior year (and who Diggs had shared the stage with on a Poetry Center program in 2007). Levitsky reads briefly from her book Neighbor (Ugly Ducking Presse, 2009) and from her newly published experimental novel, The Story of My Accident Is Ours (Futurepoem, 2013)Following their readings, Diggs and Levitsky converse with each other and answer questions from the audience. Steve Dickison introduces the poets. 

Note: the quality of this digital video from Fall 2013 is compromised due to the loss of master-files from failure of a 'failsafe' set of mirrored hard-drives; fortunately, a compressed video file could be retrieved from DVD backup.
