Rick Miller does Bohemian Rhapsody in, like, 25 voices.

I think this guy must be from Canada--who else would do imitations of Corey Hart, Crash Test Dummies, and Robbie Robertson?

Just up on PoetryFoundation.org.

My story "Rejection Slip? What Rejection Slip?" a Dispatch/Live Reading piece on prolific poet Lynn Lifshin, is just up on the ever-expanding PoetryFoundation.org site. Find the story here.

Lifshin is pictured above in a photo taken by Dan Wilcox, the poetry scenemeister of the Capital Region. Sadly, this photo didn't run, but it's nice to exhbit it here.
