MadHat Honors Founder with Gala Event: The Carol Novack Christmas-Hannukah-Kwanzaa-Solstice-and-Atheists-Who-Love-to-Party Tribute Party December 8 at Tribes
MadHat honors its late founder, publisher, eclectic anti-genre writer, and lawyer Carol Novack, with a gala reading and party December 8 at New York City’s landmark multicultural arts center A Gathering of the Tribes. The event features such poetry luminaries as Andrei Codrescu, Cornelius Eady, Bob Holman, CA Conrad, Philip Nikolayev, Katia Kapovich, Steve Dalachinsky, Marc Vincenz, Larissa Shmailo, Sarah Sarai, and many others.
Leon Dewan of Dewanatron, whose Swarmatron was extensively featured in the movie The Social Network, and the Ubudis Duo, featuring cellist Jonathan Golove and Mexican musician Omer Tamez, will provide music for the evening. Posthumous collections by Hugh Fox, Primate Fox, and Carol Novack and Tom Bradley’s Felicia’s Nose will be launched in a party atmosphere with costumes, prizes, and holiday merriment.
The late Carol Novack was a writer who tested the boundaries of established literary genres and who founded the multimedia online journal Madhatters’ Review. Known for its antic, eclectic, and international spirit, the magazine quickly became a mecca for the avant garde in literature today. Today, MadHat is a book publishing press as well as a journal, led by publisher and editor-in-chief Marc Vincenz.
In the spirit of Novack, who was also a lawyer and activist who championed the arts and underrepresented causes, the Carol Novack tribute party is being held at A Gathering of the Tribes in support of poet and mentor Steve Cannon. Cannon’s Tribes is one of the few remaining institutions committed to poetry in a neighborhood once known for poetry and the arts. The embattled arts organization is currently fighting eviction from its longtime home in Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
The Carol Novack gala features some of the most important voices in cutting-edge literature. Andrei Codrescu founded Exquisite Corpse: a Journal of Books & Ideas in 1983 and has taught literature and poetry at Johns Hopkins University, University of Baltimore, and Louisiana State University where he was MacCurdy Distinguished Professor of English. He has been a regular commentator on NPR's All Things Considered since 1983, and received a Peabody Award for writing and starring in the film Road Scholar.
Cornelius Eady is the author of seven volumes of poetry inspired by blues and jazz. Recently awarded honors include the Strousse Award from Prairie Schooner, a Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Award, and individual Fellowships from the Rockefeller Foundation, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Bob Holman is an American poet most closely identified with the oral tradition, spoken word, and slam poetry. As a promoter of poetry in many media, including the legendary Bowery Poetry Club, Holman’s current project is a PBS special on endangered languages. He is a visiting professor at Columbia University.
“The son of white trash asphyxiation,” CA Conrad’s childhood included “selling cut flowers along the highway for my mother and helping her shoplift.” He is the author of several popular books of poetry including The Book of Frank and is a 2011 PEW Fellow, a 2012 RADAR and UCROSS Fellow, and a 2013 Banff Fellow.
Philip Nikolayev and Katia Kapovich, husband and wife, are Russian émigrés bilingually active in literature in both the United States and the Russian Federation. Considered leaders in the experimental poetry movement, they are publishers of the landmark literary annual Fulcrum.
In keeping with MadHat’s international outlook, new publisher and executive editor Marc Vincenz was born in Hong Kong to Swiss-British parents. An English-German bi-lingual collection of his poems Additional Breathing Exercises is to be released by Wolfbach, Zurich (2013) and a full-length collection, Mao’s Moles, is forthcoming from NeoPoiesis Press (2013). Marc is Executive Editor of MadHat Press and Mad Hatters’ Review.
Larissa Shmailo is an award-winning poet and a Russian translator known for her original zaum translations of Alexei Kruchenych. Her books and CDs include The No-Net World and In Paran.

New York City: The Unbearables (“a drinking group with a writing problem”) and The Feminist Poets in Low-Cut Blouses (“we live with the contradictions of feminism”) face off at Lower-East-Side literary landmark A Gathering of the Tribes on September 29, 2012 at 7:00 pm as part of the global arts celebration 100 Thousand Poets for Change.
With rants, humor, avant-garde poetry, and more than a little outrageousness, the two famous New York City literary clans will face off downtown for a first-time ever showdown. Poetry legend Bob Holman, Larissa Shmailo, Ron Kolm, Elizabeth Macklin, Thad Rutkowski, Patricia Spears Jones, Sparrow, Chavisa Woods, Lee Ann Brown, Carl Watson, and other noted poets and writers are scheduled to appear.
September 29 marks the second annual global event of 100 Thousand Poets for Change, a grassroots movement that brings poets, artists, and musicians together worldwide to call for environmental, social, and political change within the framework of peace and sustainability. There are nearly 700 events planned worldwide, including:
• The Occupy Wall Street Poetry group kicks off a weekend of events in New York City with a poetry reading at the famous St. Mark’s Poetry Project.
• 25 different events in the San Francisco Bay Area, the birthplace of 100 Thousand Poets for Change, with live poetry readings by Beat Legend Michael McClure, former US Poet Laureate Robert Hass, and other major poets.
• Poetry and peace gatherings are planned in the strife-torn cities of Kabul and Jalalabad, Afghanistan.
• In Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt, poets, musicians and mime artists, in response to the revolution in Egypt and the major changes taking place in the Arab World, will perform in public spaces.
Events are also scheduled in Albania, Zimbawe, Serbia, Russia, China, Algeria, Scotland, the Udmurt Republic, Somalia, Mexico, and over 100 other countries.
Like Pussy Riot in Russia, The Unbearables and The Feminist Poets in Low-Cut Blouses believe in freedom of speech and seek a world in which artistic expression is open and protected, a goal sought by the larger 100 Thousand Poets for Change organization.
Immediately following September 29th, all documentation on the 100TPC.org website, which will include specific event pages with photos, video and other documentation compiled by each city coordinator, will be preserved by Stanford University in California. Stanford recognized 100 Thousand Poets for Change in 2011 as an historical event, the largest poetry reading in history.
