daniel abdal-hayy moore - the ecstatic exchange (sloowtapes, 2012)
*
"Another massive public service release from Sloow Tapes’ underground
poetry wing, this time from Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore, reading from his
classic text, Dawn Visions, originally published by City Lights in 1964
when the author was in his early-twenties: Moore accompanies himself on
zither throughout, creating the kind of miasmic psychedelic atmosphere
associated with The Floating Lotus Magic Opera Company which Moore
founded in 1966, incorporating Zen, world volk music and dance and the
theories of Antonin Artaud alongside collaborators like Angus MacLise
and Louise Landes Levi. In 1970 Moore renounced written poetry and
became a Sufi and set out to travel the world, only breaking his silence
in the early-80s when he went on to publish many works of poetry and
prose. The Ecstatic Exchange also includes some more recent material,
making it the perfect career-spanning work of one of the central figures
in to come out of the multi-disciplinary tumult of the 1960s. Edition
of 100 copies, recommended!" Volcanic Tongue
