FLYING WORDS PROJECT

(PETER COOK and KENNY LERNER)

Soft Boiled Egg

[Note: The poem “Soft Boiled Egg” by Flying Words Project––Peter Cook (ASL) and Kenny Lerner (voice)––was based on a loose translation of Gregory Corso's “In Praise of Neanderthal Man.” The poets were inspired by the juxtaposing images in the poem. They created this work for the Beat Studies Conference at Columbia College, October 2008.]
