Free Verse: Jerome Rothenberg and the Poetry of Picasso

[DavidWDetrich]

This is an expressive reading of Pablo Picasso's "The Burial of the Count of Orgaz and Other Poems" by the translator/poet Jerome Rothenberg, who reads from one of the most interesting poetic works of the 20th Century.  Pablo Picasso uses the technique of "poeme dechire," or collage poem, to create an unpunctuated sentence structure which conveys the complexity of his artistic vision.
