Anthony Tao, poet, and Liane Halton, classical guitarist, are excited to present their creative work at the Beijing American Center on Friday, November 8. Anthony's poems have been published in multiple journals in the U.S., and he is the author of a full-length poetry collection called We Met in Beijing. Liane is a classically trained musician who has fronted multiple bands in Beijing, in addition to having toured China with previous ventures. Together, they form Poetry x Music, which combines original poetry with original compositions on the classical guitar.
安东尼·陶（Anthony Tao），诗人，和李安·霍顿（Liane Halton），古典吉他演奏家将在11月8日星期五于北京美国中心表演他们创作的作品。安东尼的诗作已在多家美国期刊发表，并出版了一本完整的诗集《我们在北京相遇》（We Met in Beijing）。李安是一位受过古典音乐训练的音乐家，曾在北京多个乐队担任主唱，并随先前的音乐项目在中国巡演。两人共同组建了“诗歌x音乐”（Poetry x Music），将原创诗歌与古典吉他原创作品相结合。
Poetry x Music is now also a band. Its debut album, There Was a Time, featuring drums, violin, and cello, tells the story of a relationship cycle as it progresses from discovery through stages of restlessness, uncertainty, support, and affirmation. Anthony and Liane will play selections from the album, in addition to highlights from their previous work, including pieces that draw on Chinese culture, such as "Kangding" and "Zhuangzi Dreams of a Butterfly." Learn more about them at poetryxmusic.com.
“诗歌x音乐” 现已成为一个乐队。他们的首张专辑《曾经》（There Was a Time），融合了鼓、 小提琴和大提琴，讲述了一段关系从发现、经历不安和不确定，到互相支持和肯定的整个循环过程。安东尼和李安将演奏专辑中的精选曲目，以及他们以前作品的亮点，包括受中国文化启发的曲目，如《康定》（Kangding）和《庄子梦蝶》（Zhuangzi Dreams of a Butterfly）。您可以在 poetryxmusic.com 了解更多关于他们的信息。
Additionally, Liane will perform a solo set, while Anthony will read from his book We Met in Beijing, which has been praised as "[bringing] China utterly, pungently to life" (Evan Osnos, National Book Award winner), with poems that are "enduring time capsules of the Beijing we leave behind, and the Beijing we take with us" (David Moser, sinologist and jazz pianist).
此外，李安将表演一段独奏，而安东尼将朗读他的作品《我们在北京相遇》，该书获得了高度评价，被美国国家图书奖得主埃文·奥斯诺斯（Evan Osnos）称赞为“让中国栩栩如生，充满气息”，并被汉学家兼爵士钢琴家大卫·摩瑟（David Moser）评价为“永恒的北京时光胶囊，记录了我们所离开的北京和我们带走的北京”。
Poetry x Music, which came together in 2018, combines the original poetry of Anthony Tao with original compositions on the classical guitar by Liane Halton.

活动现场观众可参与Exquisite Corpse，还有机会赢取作者亲签诗集！
Exquisite Corpse是一种由超现实主义艺术家发起的文字练习，参与者共同创作诗歌或图画。这种游戏的目的是即兴发挥，往往会生成出奇特而有趣的作品。
在“Exquisite Corpse”诗歌练习中，参与者按顺序添加一句诗，但每个人只能看到前一句，无法看到之前的其他内容。这样，每个参与者在不知道全貌的情况下创作，最终生成的诗歌往往充满了意想不到的转折和独特的组合。
