On 22 January at 7:30pm, I will be performing over yonder in the Lower East Side, at Dixon Place‘s unparalleled Experiments and Disorders Series, curated by the magnificent Christen Clifford and Tom Cole. I’m performing a little bundle of inordinately new and inordinately short short prose poem micro memoirs, as part of the kaleidoscopic Flashpoint/NYC jazz-and-text semi-improv performance ensemble…
On the upright bass will be composer Arthur Kell. The comrades in writing shall be Laurie Stone, Sarah Dohrmann, Georges Foy, Matthew Daddona, and Brandon Judell.
Here’s a bit of a video clip of me performing at our August 2012 Flashpoint performance at Cornelia Street Cafe. I’m reading a new little piece called HEROINE.
We anticipate that this show will sell out. We also know there is a particularly yummy bar selection whose proceeds support Dixon Place. Please consider buying your tickets early, and then you can save money for your moody drinking adventures. You can do the first part here!

Flash fiction, micro memoir, prose poems, hybrid texts unfold in real time alongside the harmonies, melodies, cross-rhythms and moods of live jazz in a multidisciplinary call-and-response.
