College of Poetry presents Mikhail Horowitz and Gilles Malkine

The College of Poetry will celebrate a successful first year of poetry workshops with the gift to the community of a free show featuring stand-up poet Mikhail Horowitz and his “unapologetically French” guitarist Gilles Malkine at the Tuscan Café, 5 South Street in Warwick at 7:30 p.m. on July 31st.
The pair have been performing together in the Hudson Valley and beyond since 1989. They perpetrate increasingly unlawful acts of political satire and recycle literary classics, adapting them to rap, blues, bop, hip-hop, high-tech hillbilly, and other, even scruffier musical idioms. They also spoof or pay backhanded homage to various subgenres of American roots music.
In addition to having graced, if that’s the proper word, every club, café, community center, college and correctional facility in the mid-Hudson area, they’ve also performed at such venues as the People’s Voice Café, St. Peter’s (the “Jazz Church”), and the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in New York City; the Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle; Robert Bly’s Great Mother Conference in Maine; the Clearwater’s Great Hudson River Revival in Croton; and the annual convention of the United Auto Workers in Michigan. They have shared bills and/or collaborated with the likes of Peter Schickele (P.D.Q. Bach), Ed Sanders (The Fugs), Kate Pierson (The B-52s), Natalie Merchant, Jim Hightower, Artie and Happy Traum, David Amram, Bob Holman, and Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, among many others.
For further information, contact William Seaton at seaton@frontiernet.net or 845-294-8085.

The College offers poetry workshops and readings at 7 West Street and publishes the Wawayanda Review. They maintain a website at www.collegeofpoetry.com . Horowitz and Malkine’s website is www.mikandgilles.com . For the Tuscan café see www.tuscancafe.net .

Mikhail Horowitz is the author of Big League Poets (City Lights, 1978) and two collections of poetry, The Opus of Everything in Nothing Flat and Rafting Into the Afterlife (Codhill Press, 2007). His CD of jazz fables, The Blues of the Birth, is available from Sundazed Records, and he also has work on the Bring It On Home compilation (Columbia Records) and other anthology albums. He and Malkine have two CDs of material recorded live in the Hudson Valley, Live, Jive, & Over 45 and Poor, On Tour, & Over 54.

Gilles Malkine performed at the original Woodstock Festival in 1969 as a member of Tim Hardin’s band. He has recorded with Hardin, Billy Faier, John Sebastian, and his mother, Sonia Malkine, the world’s preeminent collector and interpreter of traditional Breton folksongs. He plays guitar, bass, and fiddle, and several of his compositions have been performed in recital by the classical pianist Justin Kolb.
