Wendy--
I couldn't find it on the web site. Is there any change a New Yorker could post it?
I did, while Googling, find a bio from an old reading where Ray was a feature:
Quote:
Ray Pospisil is a strong advocate of poetry as a verbal, performing (and listening) art, and he appears in various clubs around the city. Ray usually writes in formal meter, sometimes with rhyme, but in a colloquial voice. He rejects the notion that formal poetry can only articulate conservative social views, or focus on flowers and Greek gods.
Ray hosts the monthly Modern Metrics reading, and his work has been published by The Lyric, Iambs & Trochees, The Newport Review, Rogue Scholars and others. His chapbook, Some Time Before the Bell, is available from Modern Metrics Press.
Ray lives in Brooklyn and works as a freelance journalist, covering environmental and energy issues for publications in the US and the UK.

'He rejects the notion that formal poetry can only articulate conservative social views, or focus on flowers and Greek gods.' Amen, brother.
