TOM LISENBEE...In November of 2001, after a forty-year career as a musician (trumpet), Tom said goodbye to the pit of the New York City Opera Company, put his trumpets in his basement, and went upstairs to write poetry and prose. Because of the years spent performing symphonic music in the studios and concert halls in NYC, it is only natural that he writes stories and poetry with "performance in mind." He has appeared in various spoken word venues in the New York metropolitan area, including The Cornelia Street Cafe. Tom's fiction has been published on-line at Wilmingtonblues.com and Carve.com, and in print, in the Taj Mahal Review.
This April evening Tom, a published poet, returns to our stage to answer the question posed by Edna St. Vincent Millay, "To what purpose, April, do you return again?" Answer: "For National Poetry Month, of course!"
