The Ultimatum Festival I, May 1985

This project by Maia Harris and Emily Stuchbery presents annotated recordings from the first Ultimatum Montreal Urban Poetry Festival, held in May 1985 at Foufounes Électriques. Drawing on eighteen reel-to-reel recordings, the project documents Montreal’s avant-underground literary scene and makes experimental poetry performances from the festival accessible for listening and research.
