About A Cautionary Tale

 

Assertives, paint pushers, protesters, off-the-wallers, examiners of ants and skylights, sound lovers, rhythm beaters, life beaters, joke makers… A Cautionary Tale brings together seven performing poets who are also visual artists and musicians.

All regulars on the New York poetry circuit, the group came together on a blustery post-reading night in a Greenwich Village restaurant. Wishing to preserve the energy of the moment, it was agreed to take a closer look at one another’s poetry and creative lives. Just like that, the collaboration was born. A Cautionary Tale: mind the step as you open the door.
