This past Sunday I was happy to participate in a reading of Two Pieces by Robert Barry, from the very copy that had belonged to my late mentor Robert Seydel. It was a fantastic and friendly evening in the garden outside the new Silent Barn. A big thank you to Sonel Breslav and Nathaniel Otting for organizing it.

Event info:

As part of Blonde Art Books tour launch, the Robert Seydel Society of Eastern Switzerland (formerly the Robert Walser Society of Western Massachusetts) will present two pieces / some books.

1) Rick Myers will perform Fragments of a failed bullet – addendum to his recent presentation at MoMA Library
2) Lauren VHS and a sub-sub librarian from the Society will perform Two Pieces by Robert Barry (Robert Seydel’s copy)

A xeroxed booklet by Myers, Fragments of a failed bullet, will be printed especially for the occasion, and some books from the RSSES’s shelf at last weekend’s BABZ Fair will again be present.

Robert Seydel’s Book of Ruth is available through Siglio Press.
