MIKHAIL HOROWITZ has been spewing his literary spoofs, linguistic triple flips, jazz fables, and (with Gilles Malkine) folk song parodies and political satire at just about every venue in the Catskills since 1973. He also has appeared at the late great Village Gate, Theater for the New City, Westbeth Theater, Bowery Poetry Club, and many other performance venues in New York City; and at the Taos (New Mexico) Heavyweight Poetry Championships, the Portland Poetry Festival, the Detroit Arts Festival, and at countless cafés, colleges, correctional facilities, and New Age funny farms. He is the author of Big League Poets (City Lights, 1978) and two volumes of poetry, The Opus of Everything in Nothing Flat (Outloud/Red Hill, 1993) and Rafting Into the Afterlife (Codhill Press, 2007); his poetry has been widely anthologized and published in the small-press world. His performance work has been featured on more than a dozen CDs, including The Blues of the Birth, a collection of his jazz fables, and the anthology album Bring It on Home, Vol. II (Columbia Records). The former Cultural Czar of the Woodstock Times, he currently impersonates an editor in the Bard College Publications Department.
