Review:
For those of us who have already heard the word, Cautionary Tale is a welcome opportunity to see the sound of the voice on the page. From open mike to opened book is a route full of surprises. --R. Nemo Hill, author of The Strange Music of Eric Zann

Reading these personal, sharply observed, and sometimes revolutionary poems is like seeing a live performance in New York City's poetry scene. Their impact is heightened by accompanying artwork and poet-to-poet introductions. By their diverse voices the reader is transported to an icy street, an imaginary forest, a bowling green, modern Egypt. --Thad Rutkowski, author of Tetched

An invitation to share in the interactive lives and poetry of a community of artists who have voiced their experiences from the stage. Off-stage, these poems still recreate the vitality of live performance on the page. --Barry Wallenstein, author of Europa Ripens
