 Jeff Conant - A Poetics of Resistance
 Reading & Book Signing
 The Zapatistas' famous "¡Ya basta!"—Enough already!—was the first uttering of a new story: a story about unbinding the ties of official history, uncovering buried seeds of popular resistance, and revealing the glimmerings of a truly insurgent modernity. Combining narrative history, literary criticism, ethnography, and media analysis, A Poetics of Resistance provides a refreshing take on Mexico's Zapatista movement by examining the means, meanings, and mythos behind the Zapatista image.

 Henry Grimes (contrabass, violin, poetry)
 
 Henry Grimes has played more than 380 concerts in 24 countries (including many festivals) since May of '03, when he made his astonishing return to the music world after 35 years away.  He was born and raised in Philadelphia and attended the Mastbaum School and Juilliard.  In the '50s and '60s, he came up in the music playing and touring with Arnett Cobb, Willis "Gator Tail" Jackson, "Bullmoose" Jackson, "Little" Willie John, and a number of other great R&B / soul musicians; but drawn to jazz, he went on to play, tour, and record with many great jazz musicians of that era, including Albert Ayler, Don Cherry, Benny Goodman, Coleman Hawkins, Roy Haynes, Lee Konitz, Steve Lacy, Charles Mingus, Gerry Mulligan, Sunny Murray, Sonny Rollins, Roswell Rudd, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Cecil Taylor, McCoy Tyner, and many more.
