The Diminished Prophets to perform Love Poems for Real People
The Dimished Prophets will perform Love Poems for Real People, a melopoeia. Melopoeia is the ancient art of reciting poetry to a musical accompaniment. The poetry is spoken, not sung, so that the two arts flow separately, through and around each other.
