Three Poems of Lou Harrison

Working with themes of gender fluidity, duality, transitions, and resurrection, Harrison’s texts in this cycle center on finding peace in darkness. Harrison’s poetry is generally found in rare, limited-edition publications. The texts, as set by the composer Robert Hughes, reveal Harrison's lesser-known gifts as a poet.
