Bethlehem, PA – June 15, 2019 Interactive poetry performance comes to Bethlehem on Saturday, June 15, when IceHouse Tonight presents No River Twice at noon in their upstairs theatre space.
No River Twice is a multi-vocal, improvisational and interactive poetry reading in which the audience determines the direction of the performance from beginning to end, poem by poem, co-creating a reading that is never the same twice.“It’s an experiment in how to bring playfulness, surprise, and communal participation into the realm of poetry readings,” says Hayden Saunier, founder and director of No River Twice and 1991 Bucks County Poet Laureate.
“At a No River Twice performance, we track the lines that have connected words or ideas from one poem to the next.” 
At the conclusion of a round of reading, the poets assemble the lines into a cento, or a poem composed of lines from other poems. The term comes from the Latin word for patchwork garment.The June 15 reading will be co-hosted by Saunier and Cleveland Wall, who also hosts IceHouse Tonight’s monthly Tuesday Muse performance series.
They will be joined by local poet Ann Michael as a special guest, along with No River Twice poets Liz Chang, Grant Clauser, Lynn Levin, Lorraine Henrie Lins, Bernadette McBride, Ethel Rackin, and Chad Frame.
