Luis Bernard returns to the stage after a ten-year absence to again face himself, and to see if Poetry is behaving itself. After facilitating countless writing workshops, propelling participants to winning or placing in Slam events, he has also produced many Spoken Word showcases. Simply put, he is a Man made from scratch.

Thaddeus Rutkowski is the author of seven books, most recently Tricks of Light (great weather for MEDIA), a poetry collection. His novel Haywire won the members’ choice award from the Asian American Writers’ Workshop. He teaches at Medgar Evers College and received a fiction writing fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts. www.thaddeusrutkowski.com
