ABC No RIO: Artifice

Item
Subject Terms:
Open-mic ; poetry ; ABC No Rio; memory
Identifier:
IA.ITM.000658
Description
This issue covers a period of ABC NO RIO, 85-90, during which the Wide Open Caberet, hosted by Mathew Courtney, became a central, defining flashpoint of activity both within the NO RIO collective and within the East Village open mic scene. 
The zine was not created by Mathew Courtney himself, who was not in New York at the time, but is a compilation of recollections of the open mics and some poetry.
