About
I’m a New York-based writer, critic and cultural worker. I write regularly for a number of publications, including AGBU News, Brooklyn Rail, BushwickBK, ArtCat Zine and PBS’ Art21 blog. I serve on the boards of Ararat quarterly and the Triangle Arts Association.
This blog was born out of my passion for art, culture, human rights, literature, multicultural issues and the internet…it is a work in progress.
Now for my favorite part, a resource of where my words/images/tweets (and everything else) have ended up…this is not a complete list and–needless to say–still evolving:
One Brooklyn poet used one of my Brooklyn Rail articles as source material for his poetry (I love this!), he turned my “article about architecture…into a TV thriller through poetry” called “Made-For-TV”:
Made For TV
by Erik Von Ploennies
The grave of a KGB ruler.
His death, odd.
Designed to highest international standards.
An integral role in protocol.
A dictator telling them what not to report.
There were few examples.
A moral quagmire and politics.
It is no coincidence.
Invented propaganda.
The cinematic masterpiece.
