With the recent death of poet John Giorno, gak returns to 24 Hours of Radio Art with a tribute to his landmark yet accessible Dial-a-Poem service. In lieu of having a series of landlines connected to answering machines, we will parallelize the experience by having multiple poems read simultaneously as additional orders are barked via megaphone. "A circus of verse for the normal adverse!" Prepare for the transmundane or assemble the show yourself with occasional noise announcements.
