Description: Daphne Marlatt reads passages from her classic long poem, Steveston, with music by Robert Minden & Carla Hallett. Enter a fascinating aural universe encompassing the lyrical intensity of Daphne Marlatt's poetry. Canadian composers Robert Minden and Carla Hallett score for an array of vintage waterphones, bowed carpenter's saws, found object percussion and voice  -a world of splendid acoustic sound. A delicate resonance of microtonal nuance and lyrical intimacy surrounds Marlatt's poetic voicing, rhythm and imagery. Her words bring you to the river's mouth and into a sensuous landscape of lives lived in canneries, fishing camps, on the sea and over time.
