Imagery in Motion: Todd Colby on Art and Poetry

In this electric and deeply thoughtful conversation, I sit down with poet, visual artist, performer, and creative provocateur Todd Colby to explore the space where poetry, collage, music, performance, and public art collide.Todd is the author of seven books of poetry, including Brilliant Juice, and his visual work has been exhibited at venues including the Met Cloisters, White Columns, PULP Gallery, and the Hammond Museum. As a performer, he has brought his kinetic and unforgettable reading style to spaces such as MoMA PS1, Dia Art Foundation, The Poetry Project, The Public Theater, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He was also the frontman of the experimental post-punk band Drunken Boat, where art, music, and rebellion became one living practice.Together, we talk about anonymous sticker poems left throughout New York City and Northampton, altered postcards, punk rock energy, ghosts, grief, performance as channeling, and the power of paying attention to the beauty and absurdity of everyday life.Follow me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SonorousLightInstagram: @tohumishuman @sonorous.light555 @thisisdbcWebsite: www.sonorouslight.com
