More Fugitive Than Light, Book Launch & Discussion

Book launch and panel discussion with writer Richard Milazzo and artist Daniel Rothbart
Moderated by Éric Longo, Interim Executive Director of The Flow Chart Foundation
Free; reservations recommended

Hudson Hall and The Flow Chart Foundation celebrate the book launch of More Fugitive Than Light, a collaboration between scholar and poet Richard Milazzo and artist Daniel Rothbart.

Richard’s poems reflect a fascination with diverse cultures, skirting a love-hate relationship with his native New York City while embracing many of the storied cities of Europe and Far Eastern destinations such as Saigon, Penang, Phnom Penh, Seoul, and Kyoto. Much in the same spirit, Daniel’s collages ask the question: “Are they bracketing peripheries without centers or centers without peripheries?”  Both address the magisterial but mystery-driven assertion and question Yeats and Rilke once posed, respectively: “the center does not” and “Who, if [we] cried out, would hear [us] among the angelic orders?”

Collages from More Fugitive Than Light are on view at The Flow Chart Foundation from June 14 – July 14, 2025
