Westside Rhyme
What Shawn Randall and Karen Rockower pull off every Sunday with Westside Rhyme is nothing short of inspirational! I had the privilege of being one of their features at the Bowery Poetry Club last night – my second reading since I’ve been back – and had the most fun I’ve had outside of Monday nights
Cynical Choir Clarification
Ask and ye shall be told. I checked with a colleague of mine at Refuse and Resist about what was up with the Lincoln Center event and here’s the deal: “The sponsoring group for the event is Not In Our Name Statement of Conscience (you can see it at www.nion.us), and any money raised will

The Virginia Curveball
Sometimes life can throw you some curveballs. You expect it. It’s the fastballs that get you, though. The high heat an inch from the tip of your nose that makes your life flash before your eyes. Those are the ones that knock you on your ass. Two weeks after we got to Virginia, my wife
And so it begins…
Ahem…1-2, 1-2. Mic check. So, this is Blogger? Cool. A year ago today, I loaded a U-Haul truck full to the back door and we headed south on I-95, Virginia or bust. It’s been about six weeks since we’ve been back in NY so I guess you’d have to say bust! Seriously, though, the truth
