Thomas March

Thomas March is a poet, performer, and essayist. He is the host and curator of "Poetry/Cabaret," a performance series that brings together poets and performers in an evening of wild variations on a theme. Aftermath, his first poetry collection, was selected by Joan Larkin for The Word Works Hilary Tham Capital Collection and appeared in April 2018. OUT Magazine praised its “diamond-sharp lyricism” and hailed it as “a stimulating, if sober, tonic for our times.” His poetry has appeared in Bellevue Literary Review, The Good Men Project, OUT, and Pleiades, among others. His reviews and essays have appeared in The Believer, The Huffington Post, and New Letters. With painter Valerie Mendelson, he is the co-creator of A Good Mixer, a textual-visual hybrid project based on a 1933 bartender’s guide of the same name. A past recipient of the Norma Millay Ellis Fellowship in Poetry, from the Millay Colony for the Arts, he has also received an Artist/Writer grant from The Vermont Studio Center. In recent years, he has written and performed monologues at a number of venues in New York City, including Ars Nova, The Duplex, The Green Room 42, Joe’s Pub, The Peoples Improv Theater, and Sid Gold’s Request Room. He can be found most Monday nights reading "Midnight Poetry" at Club Cumming during Lance Horne's "Mondays in the Club with Lance."
