Singing
in a low, warm tone, Simone Felice twists gently in the restaurant booth,
tracing figures in the air with his hands, as if stringing the words on a
line. In an Army-surplus shirt buttoned at the neck and an incongruous
knit hat—a loosely crocheted skull cap, with vaguely floral nubs—he is a
striking presence. He could be a runaway or a rock star, rail-thin and
unheeding of standard dining-room decorum.

The moment of conception. A silver night train
sails on from Florence to Paris. In the confined space of a sleeper car,
two American brothers, entranced by the hum, burn the midnight oil behind
dusty red curtains. The elder is a poet, the younger a painter. Sipping
wine, the brothers write furiously into the night: The hospital’s filled
with the people’s disease/And we’ve run out of pills/But the secret police
are in the bloodstream of everyone/In the free world/And the naked
sun/Will burn until we hide it away. The embryo.

"Simone Felice is a cyber Rimbaud, a neo-hipster poet who marries a
Romantic Gothic sensibility to a darkly humorous and insidiously
disturbing post-millennial sci-fi vision," says Hudson Valley performance
poet Mikhail Horowitz.
