George Quasha Reads 'crossroads angelics,' 2023

Today we bring you the final 2023 session from Chris Funkhouser and George Quasha. If you're a regular PennSound Daily reader you know that Funkhouser has been periodically recording the complete poetic works of his friend and neighbor Quasha since at least 2017 to the benefit of listeners worldwide. The pair already completed Quasha's multipart waking from myself last year, as well as gnostalgia for the present, a collaborative work featuring photographs by the poet's wife Susan. Today's ninety-minute session, recorded on December 30th, is comprised of the 34 poem sequence, crossroads angelics, which is dedicated to Funkhouser. You can read the first three poems in this series in the Spring 2020 issue of Marsh Hawk Review.

You'll find these and many more recordings on PennSound's George Quasha author page, along with lengthy selections from many of his books including Not Even Rabbits Go Down This Hole, Dowsing Axis, Hearing Other, The Ghost In Between, Verbal Paradise, Glossodelia Attract: Preverbs, The Daimon of Moment: Preverbs, Scorned Beauty Comes Up Behind: Preverbs, Things Done for Themselves: Preverbs, and Polypoikilos: Matrix in Variance: Preverbs, among others.
