The event is named for a new piano work by Calvin, which receives its Melbourne premiere—a piece commissioned for Mark’s recent sixtieth birthday, responding to “So Far,” a love poem written for Jodie Williams, from Mark’s recent collection Walking Underwater. Mark and Calvin, two of the leading composers of our time, will perform a small program of poems and piano works and reflect on the role of the lyric in an age of flattened prose, and chat a little on the themes that organise Mark’s new book—how to live a life of presence, eternally renewed, informed also by the wisdom and humility carried into the present moment by forms and practices learned across a lifetime and from other times and ways than these.
