Pyeng Threadgill:  "You might not be aware of New York City jazz singer and performance artist Pyeng Threadgill...You should be."

Aleksey Dayen:  Dayen is a sharp observer of the every day experiences in life … Read him at a bar with a shot of whiskey, or in a cafe with a double shot of Espresso; if one of the two doesn't get you 'wired,' the poetry will."      -- A.D. Winans, award-winning poet

Sergey Shabalin:  a Russian/American poet, essayist and author of two books of poetry.

anthology,
Moscow, 1997

Stanley H. Barkan:  "Stanley Barkan has a way about him that gets the best out of people and out of words."
      --

Frank Sisco:  "We are fortunate to have your dedicated involvement in the Poetry Caravan, a worthy project. You lead by example."
     --  Sarah Bracey White, Director of Cultural Affairs, Town of Greenburgh, Westchester, NY and co-founder of the Poetry Caravan

Golda Solomon:  "Poet Solomon...Think of it as Jack Kerouac revisiting the Mile High City and grabbing a sandwich at the New York
     Deli while in town."
     -- Norman Provizer, Rocky Mountain News

 PO’JAZZ at CORNELIA STREET is one big friendly party of good words, good sounds, and good food.”
