Alex Caldiero at Kiva Koffeehouse
After wekwomteks we stayed to hear the beginning of a poetry slam. We couldn't stay long because we needed to be at the Escalante High School Auditorium for a sound check for our evening blue haiku performance.
After the sound check we drove back north to the Kiva Koffeehouse to hear Alex Caldiero, word shaker and polyartist, make sound (i.e., perform his poetry).
Larry Harper opened on auto-harp, reminding us that Lake Powell is a reservoir, not a lake. Alex then made sounds on bells (Iwanttogowheresoundsgoeswhenthebellstopsringing), bones, jaws harp and voice. He paced the room, spoke from the floor and generally kept us on the edge of our seats in wonder.
