Poet Carla Harryman poet and musician Jon Raskin musician render Harryman’s Cloud Cantata and in-progress “Scales for the Living” in variations of speaking, singing, and musical interpretations. These dialogue poems respond to domestic companionship and televised bubble, dreamscapes and slant trouble, war, immigration catastrophe (de) realization, dangerous waters, historical circumspection, and whatever occurs in the liminal mind or neighborhood of pandemic time.
