He is the author of Narrative of the Life of the Brown Boy and the White Man (University of Pittsburgh, 2008), winner of the 2007 Cave Canem Poetry Prize and Poems of the Black Object (Futurepoem Books, 2009), winner of the Thom Gunn Award and the Asian American Literary Award in Poetry in 2010. His latest book is Farther Traveler: Poetry, Prose, Other, (Counterpath Press, 2013.) This talk/screening will explore the activities between poetry, art, dance, and visual art, exemplified through Wilson' mixed-media video series TEAR-E-AVATAR, recently completed during his tenure as a 2014 artist-in-residence through the Center for Art and Thought (CA+T). Wilson will explore the ways that digital technologies (video, audio recordings, movie and music software) complicate and help to render, and ultimately reveal what's possible as both the poem's form and its formation.
