With Lips From End To End

No.177, aired July 11, 2012, featuring readings from two poets from the 1960s: bpNichol and Maggie O’Sullivan. Began as a “search for the origin of breath” theme, but “Lips” became the dominant motif when it was realized that (1) “Lips” is the lead singer/guitarist of Anvil, (2) O’Sullivan’s poem has a “lips” theme, including red lipstick marks that were performed on air, and (3) “Lips” are mentioned twice in Nichol’s oddysey of Saint Reat.
