Ten Thousand Words a Minute: Marquis Burton's Poetry of the Moment
Poet Marquis Burton, aka Ten Thousand, has had a long association with the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, extending back to his youth. From site-specific performances for Swoon: Seven Contemplations to the workshop series Explore Your Truths he led in association with the special exhibition In These Truths, Burton's poetry may only exist in the moment of his freestyle improvisations, but it is making an indelible impression on our memories. We spoke to Burton about his work and life.
