Well, our ever-expanding ranks of contributors keep growing! Please welcome Vanessa Baish. We have high hopes!

Vanessa Baish, who grew up in a small and quiet Maryland town, was introduced to performance in 1989 when a friend took her to see Laurie Anderson. It was the same year she read “Absalom, Absalom” by William Faulker, and the combination of Anderson and Faulkner marked the beginning of her love of the arts.

Vanessa is an adjunct lecturer in English at Hunter College–where she completed an MA in Literature–and, sometimes, a yoga teacher

Everybody give her a warm welcome!!
