I'm performing at Poetry vs. Comedy next week: 8PM at the Bowery Poetry Club.
It's usually a complete blast, much more funny stuff than serious stuff. I'm reading some new poems -- never before seen by human eyes (unless you consider my eyes, but I'm only half-human).
JULY 25TH LINEUP
EMCEE: Carolyn Castiglia -- so funny you could just die (and might)
COMEDIANS
Liz Miele -- Profiled as a comedienne by the New Yorker
Greg Walloch -- been on all sorts TV shows with Ben Stiller
Sven Wechsler -- performed all over NYC, also on TV
POETS
Christine Hamm -- published some poetry
Livia Scott (as Anthony Moscowitz)-- has been on Late Night With Conan O'Brien
Kathleen Warnock -- award-winning playwright
MUSICAL GUESTS: Manson Family Singers
What They Say About PVC:
"tonight it is ok to laugh at the poets... At the Poetry Vs. Comedy Variety Show poets rage against comedians in a battle of wits."
-- Gothamist.com
"another celebratory night of the hottest talents on the downtown comedy scene."
-- TheTicker.com

A Poem in Feile Feste
I have a poem called “Pop” ( meaning “my grandfather”) coming out in the 2nd annual literary arts journal Feile-Festa. I won’t be in New York for the reading at the KGB Bar on June 16th (7 – 9 pm) , but maybe some of you who live in the area can stop in and say “hello and best wishes” to Frank Polizzi, the editor. I’ve posted text from the flyer below. I just received the magazine, and it looks really good!
Let me know if you go. The drinks are on me!

another post, not about me!
I saw this call for submissions and I thought it might be useful for the fiction writers:
The second issue of Cantaraville is coming out this fall and we're actively seeking submissions of short fiction as well as reviews and novel and script excerpts. Previously published okay. Comps of Cantaraville go out to editors, agencies and producers (one contributor, in fact, landed a top-tier agent query). Our editorial staff is second-to-none in excellence while maintaining a warm and thoughtful rapport with all our authors. For guidelines, visit http://www.cantaraville.com.

new poem
Hi. It was nice coming to the writers' forum again, today. I got inspired.
A Tender Age
in this corner, a dog is screaming
he is calling your name
Oliver, Oliver
you have better things to do
you in your urchin shirt
rusty shoes, hat full
of night and spiders
you sneak the hubcaps
off dead men’s eyes
you borrow morning
ransom it for some
chilled red soup
you tuck bracelets, brooches,
feathered hat pins in your pockets
they clank an odd song when you run
they rub together like bones in your thin
shoulder joint
no meat
no meat
for the strangers’ mouths
for the dog still barking
for the profiles made of metal and gems
when the street lights pop on
so many bad ideas over so many
dusty, perfumed heads
you are just getting started
your business hawking pocket watches
stealing time
and other boys’ tender teeth
