On November 4th, I had the pleasure of sharing the stage of the Bowery Poetry Club in New York City with poet Rick Mullin as part of the legendary Carmine Street Metrics Series. Here is some footage from the evening. Click below to buy Rick’s new book.

“Grounded by generous humor, graced with charming music, Rick Mullin’s latest collection, COELACANTH, mingles the modesty of a man ‘in need / of better shoes’ with the regal bearing of the artist-as-hero, one gifted with ‘a formula for magic,’ the last of an untamed, ‘legendary breed.’ In a world gone ‘austere’ and ‘ashen,’ in an age when ‘mythology has reached a sorry pass,’ we are comforted by Mullin’s poems, which share with the famous living-fossil fish of the book’s title the power to inspire wonder in things long since thought to have disappeared from the earth.” – Ernest Hilbert
