HYDROGEN JUNKBOX is a performance collective of poets and music makers, currently made up of David Lawton, Aimee Herman and Eric Alter, looking to inspire and innovate by stirring music and poetry together into "poemusic" using toy instruments, found objects, and our human voices. Come see us at Aimee's book parties on May 10th at Bluestockings, and on Saturday afternoon May 18th at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore in East Brunswick NJ. Beat the cookie drum!
