Me on IndieFeed
My poem Prodigal Son is being featured on IndieFeed as “Part 4 of a 9 part series, celebrating the release of Words in Your Face: A Guided Tour Through 20 years of the New York City Poetry Slam by Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz!” It’s the live version from the nycSLAMS CD (2000), but it includes some great (and
Like a bad penny…
Me and poetry, together again for the first time in ages! Tuesday, October 25, 2005 @ 7pm Barnes & Noble Bookstore 3105 East Main Street Mohegan Lake, NY 10547 Helping Zork bring poetry to Westchester. Cover: FREE! This is right near where I graduated High School, so I’m paranoid I’ll bump into someone I once
R.I.P.: Angela Boyce
I just saw on a couple of blogs that Angela Boyce passed away. 🙁 Hadn’t seen or spoken with her in a few years, but when I first met her while doing a couple of gigs in San Diego – back in 1999 or 2000? – she was one of the sweetest, most sincere, not
Interview: Dabb on Atomika
Andrew Dabb is a busy man. Between writing Megacity909 and Mu for Studio Ice/Devil’s Due, and Ghostbusters for 88mph Studios, you’d think his plate was full enough. But starting this March, he teams up with artist Sal Abbinanti for Atomika, “a groundbreaking story of men, supermen and the forces that shape our reality,” set in

I found out last night that my aunt, youngest on my father’s side and more like a cousin, is coming to the reading and
For the last time…?
Truth or hyperbole? I’ve learned to never say never but in all likelihood, Wednesday, August 4th will be the last time I appear on stage as a featured poet. I fell into the slam scene on a lark back in the summer of 1997, competing in my first Friday night slam at the Nuyorican Poets
Set This House in Order
Finished Matt Ruff’s Set This House in Order: A Romance of Souls yesterday. Absolutely amazing! He’s one of a handful of writers I want to BE.

New York City at night is a beautiful thing.
