The Other Side - chicago poetry readings

Based on a live Chicago performance art show October 21 2003, this show was also placed into separate studio tracks. Mpeg video footage also exists from the live show..

This show was based on the travel to nine European countries, described in detail in the now out-of-print book “The Other Side” (which was once available through cafepress with 6 different covers to choose from).


A CD from the live performance based on this collection is also available for sale.
