Performing Arts: Spoken Word Milo Martin: Poems for the Utopian Nihilist

  • L_a2537ed60a3eb327cb2d6883dea323c0_large

Poet/painter Milo Martin's enduring love affair with Los Angeles has taught him many things — chiefly, how to be comfortable with paradox. His writing evokes LA's dissonant loveliness: its hulking gray architecture and searing blue skies, the extremes in its cultural and economic worlds, and its proud, sparkling superficiality. Martin's latest book of poems and art examines what it's like to live, love, think, and create while straddling the border between the optimistic search for beauty and the suspicion that the world is going to hell in a hand basket.
