NOW

I read things I like, for the Poetry Foundation's record-a-poem National Poetry month project:

https://soundcloud.com/lumwork

including a normal reading of Wallace Stevens' "Like Decorations in a Nigger Cemetery"--which I did an hour long performance piece of years ago.  Love how the extreme vocal work of then informs the straight-up reading of today...

We will sing about asteroids, ponies, driving recklessly, jaguars (the cat not the car) and my new favorite outfit, which has white flowers on orange ground.

Profile Information

Occupation
I make things with words.
Bio
Post-modern sea shanties. A virtual scrapbook. A tea-party for voice and debris. Audio excavation. Power-point presentations about free-ways, coffee-houses, cubicles, and the abyss. Poems, some of which look like plays.

"I am not an abstractionist...I'm interested in basic human emotions...tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on..." --Mark Rothko

And so on.

Happens and happening mostly in NYC.

Published: Adbusters, 2RiverView, HOW2, The Open Page. My poem for 4 women and a wolf, (stillness), was a finalist for the 2008 Jane Chambers award for feminist performance text.

I have a newer play about passion. It has a panel discussion with Heloise & Abelard, a lecture about an immense lake that turns into a coin, and a lonely man at a bar who just came down from the Empire State Building where he didn't hear God. Will you produce this play?

Training: mathematical. theatrical. Roy Hart voice work.

Pirouette

a poem that looks like a play

which has been turned

into a scrap-book

which may become a toy theater



A love story about…
