Performer and photographer Sheree Rose freaks forth with thoughts on poetic restraints, sadomasochism, love’s lasting impact, and artistic collaboration within the Beyond Baroque scene throughout her life spent with poet and artist Bob Flanagan.
This program is part of a series, Beyond Baroque and Beyond, in which Tosh Berman, writer, poet, Los Angeles publisher of the postwar French literati, and beloved host of the 1980s cable talk show Tea With Tosh, returns to the screen to confabulate with figures from the Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center’s haunted hallways. Summoned to Berman’s virtual sofa are a host of poetic voices, each of whom have been central to the center’s programs at a point between 1980 and 1996. Not merely interviews, Beyond Baroque and Beyond is equal parts séance, chat show, reunion, literary production, past life regression, tea time. No nostalgia.
In conjunction with the exhibition Made in L.A. 2020: a version.
This is a recording of a program broadcast live on June 29, 2021.
David Trinidad is a superb poet. I feel close to his work, especially the poetry he was writing in Los Angeles during the 1980s. I too have a thing for Girl Groups and that sort of Pop Culture that is expressed through David's work. I often saw him read at Beyond Baroque. Dennis Cooper at the time was doing the programming at Beyond Baroque. He had his own press, Sherwood Press, that was wonderful. A great era in Los Angeles Poetry world at that time. Also on the same show, we show Shirley Squid Ouchi's art performance/video "Doing The Dishes." A powerful piece of work.
