Robert Filliou: Yes (Action Poem).
Performance for poet and lecturer. The poet sits in a chair, silent and motionless. Behind him, the lecturer presents a fairly extensive lecture describing the body parts and bodily functions of the poet. After the lecture, the poet recites a brief poem stating his ideal of "sitting quietly, doing nothing".
Performed in 1965 at the Café au Go-Go in New York by Robert Filliou (poet) and Alison Knowles (lecturer).
