“For at the First Glance” is a durational reading based on the incomplete manuscript of Jubilate Agno by Christopher Smart, written during his involuntary confinement in St. Luke’s Hospital in the 18th century. The performance is a part of a long-form edit and attempt at moving towards completion of the unfinished manuscript, an ecstatic celebration of creation and life.
