I'm the author of the author of "Words In Your Face: A Guided Tour Through Twenty Years of the New York City Poetry Slam" (Soft Skull Press, 2008) as well as five book of poetry, including the forthcoming "Everything is Everything" (Write Bloody Press, 2010). When not on tour, I can usually be found loitering at the Bowery Poetry Club, where I help run the Tuesday night poetry slam series, NYC-Urbana, and where my partner Shappy Seasholtz is the surly barkeep.
