VOTM: What’s the most unusual experience you’ve had at a reading?
HART: Last fall I went to reading at a loft in DTLA. The first reader played a tape he had recorded of himself walking through a park while he read from a book he did not write. He never took off his sunglasses. The next reader looked at the ground and read his poems with a profundity befitting his words; namely, “My banana gun has a licorice trigger.” The final reader told a condensed 50s style sci-fi epic, complete with projected images of collages he made from anatomy books and sci-fi mags and sounds effects from his mouth. He wore a very spiffy tweed suit.
