This evening of poetry and experimental music features Lansing Poet Laureate Emeritus Dennis Hinrichsen, author of dementia lyrics (Green Linden Press), with ambient artist Worm Moon, and electronic artist bioPrism.

Day Zero Breakdown (Bogue Street Records, 2026) is the title of an audio accompaniment to dementia lyrics, Dennis Hinrichsen’s twelfth full length collection of poetry and his fifth title overall from Green Linden Press. The poems are an exploration of systemic failure on multiple levels beginning with the diagnosis of two friends with very different forms of dementia, but then branching out to include the failure of late-stage capitalism to address the needs of the homeless in Hinrichsen’s hometown of Lansing, Michigan, as well as issues related to freshwater mismanagement and the death of aquifers on a broader scale. The running motif is water, the body as water, brain as water, body and brain as aquifer, all under extreme forms of stress.

Reception and book signing to follow in the LookOut Gallery (2nd floor, Snyder-Phillips Hall).
