Jerry QuickleyLive from the FrontWednesday, JANUARY 17 • 7 & 9:30 pmLoew Auditorium Click to download PROGRAM NOTES Pacifica Radio journalist Jerry Quickley wasn't embedded when he went to Iraq to cover the war, and he hasn't been censored. He got into the country before the invasion, thanks only to images of Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali on his t-shirt. He shot footage, talked to Iraqis, and was “shocked and awed” until his deportation. From the Palestine Hotel to the streets of Baghdad, Quickley captures the voices of the people and his own brushes with death in an unflinching monologue that's both funny and profoundly sad. Adding music and video to his powerful poetry and prose, this spoken-word artist of HBO/Def Poetry fame creates in Live from the Front an eloquently charged performance. Presented in conjunction with Dartmouth's Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration.Performance contains adult language and themes. |
 “A golden voice, mad storytelling skills, and the uncanny ability to sculpt language into ribbons of social relevance wrapped around pillars of lyrical beauty.”
