Bitch Magazine, Issue #64 Apologies, my lovely darling crumpets, for not writing you brilliant new blog posts more often! I am in the process of trying to find a new apartment in New York City, which anybody who makes less than a million dollars a year can tell you is pretty much the equivalent of [...continue...]

It's that time of year again! What time of year? you may be asking. The time when we take off our shoes and lay around on the grass? The time when we buy food-truck morsels and have a picnic? The time when we take a free ferry to a free poetry festival and enjoy the summer on Governor's Island? [...continue...]

Come one, come all! Sit right there in the front row, if you wish! You’ll never be able to discern the sorcery of the poets at the Poetry Brothel, no matter how hard you try, ladies and gentlemen. Their magic is real. But we invite you to try to figure them out in public and private readings [...continue...]

Last night I read about ten minutes of poetry at Patasola’s Parlor, a monthly reading and performance series coproduced by Lisa Marie Basile and Emily Linstrom, two powerhouse NYC poets for whom I’ve had immense respect for ages. I’ve participated in The Poetry Brothel with LMB [...continue...]

FYI, my reading last night at Poor Mouth Poetry at An Beal Bocht in Riverdale went swimmingly, and I met some fabulous people. Riverdale! Who knew? In the interest of time (I got a hot tip on the medication I need possibly being available uptown, so I’m going to be trying to sniff it out on [...continue...]

Come one, come all, to my featured reading at An Beal Bocht‘s monthly Poor Mouth Poetry open mic night! I’ll be spouting poetry and the like for 10-15 minutes as the featured reader, and a whole host of other talented writers will read their work as part of the open mic. It’s sure [...continue...]

Well… I hate that this is on video for the world to see, because much as I love performing, I hate watching or hearing myself perform. Even after spending most of my life on stages of different kinds and interviewing porn stars on video for the past several years almost constantly, something [...continue...]

And I’m all alliterated out. A little assonant. Oh my gosh. I’ve gotta stop. Ok. So the deal is this: tomorrow I’ll be performing at Titillating Tongues: NYC Erotica in Poetry + Prose at the SoHo Playhouse at 15 Vandam Street. The event starts at 8:00; costs $10 to get into; will [...continue...]
