Dennis Cooper, Benjamin Weisman, Amy Gerstler & Tosh Berman in conversation
The program I did for the Hammer Museum, regarding the Beyond Baroque Dennis Cooper, Amy Gerstler, and Benjmin Weissman years is now on YouTube. As mentioned this has been a very satisying series of programs that I hosted. Beyond Baroque is a very important organization and venue, and it's amazing to share the common experiences we had in this world. Which also includes punk rock venues as well as LACE in Downtown, etc.

An online tête-à-tête between Tosh Berman and poet-auteurs Dennis Cooper, Benjamin Weissman, and Amy Gerstler about their so-called poet-gang, the special friendships formed by the L.A. literati in the early 1980s, being influenced by the French (i.e. literary hauntedness), and the specific problems and pleasantries of poetic programming. Introduction by Made in L.A. 2020 artist Sabrina Tarasoff.
