A Cautionary Tale
Seven New York Performing Poets
Introducing the first book from Uphook Press.
"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
