"A new installation at the Museum of Art in New York, titled, "Dial-a-Poem" brings ecstatic poetry to you online or over the phone at any time of the day or night. Siri just can't compete with the voice of Kathy Acker or Vito Acconci, can she? John Giorno started 'Dial-a-Poem' in 1969, when poetry was concerned with expressing the mundane in modern life. ... 'Dial-a-Poem' brings you a random poem read aloud by its poet; the list of possibles includes Frank O'Hara, William Burroughs, John Ashbery, Deborah Harry, John Cage, Allen Ginsberg, David Byrne and many more."
