Bob Holman, the man who helped popularize slam poetry in the city, founded the Bowery Poetry Club, so you can feel quite confident that the acts inside aren't just a bunch of wannabe beatniks.

When she's not doing her cable-access show, or working out of her home as the curator of a troll-doll museum, or writing columns for artnet.com, or lecturing at USC about performance art, you might find her starring in her self-proclaimed "live-action TV show" Rev.
