Gene Hosey directed the celebrated Paper Sword poetry series at the Art Association of Harrisburg. He's been published in a wide assortment of literary journals, including Fledgling Rag, Megaera, and Experimental Forest.
Gene has a outstanding verse collection, The Gravity of Titles (Musser publications, 1998).
At Harrisburg's Susquehanna Art Museum, Hosey conducted a wildly successful Poetry Cartel special tribute to John Cage: the Night of the Living Pianos.

This, from Hosey's website: "Gene knew little of what was to await him once he escaped the coal dusted hills of Forty Fort, Pennsylvania. Those hills still burn but Gene got out just in time. He now lives the storybook American life in a patch called Lisburn, Pennsylvania with his creative wife and companion, Terrie. ….He reminds us that we are moving toward what Dennis Hopper, paraphrasing Andy Warhol, paraphrasing Duchamp, described as a time when the 'artist' will merely point, and whatever it is the artist points at is 'art'."

You can see and hear Hosey performing his work on YouTube and on his own website. www.genehosey.com/
