Nisha Ramayya for Fantasia

Come join us for what we promise will be an evening full of astonishing jazz poetry!

Fantasia hazards a listening walk through seashells, telecommunication networks, and cosmic vibrations, to learn something new about how we sound. Alice Coltrane’s experiments in jazz and spiritual community guide these poems that hum and glitch, that leap across space-time, landing in and reflecting the discordant music of life on earth.

Nisha Ramayya works across poetry, criticism and collaborative performance, and teaches creative writing. She is the author of States of the Body Produced by Love, among other works.
