Albany’s Underground Poetry Scene

Beat poet Samuel Maurice has co-edited Albany’s underground press Dead Man’s Press Ink and co-hosts the city’s Invocation open mic.

Over coffee at the Moon and River Cafe in Albany, he and BradQuan course through art, politics, and humanity, and what poetry is for when the world feels mundane.

Weirdinary is a documentary conversation podcast from Albany, NY, hosted by writer and journalist BradQuan Copeland. It explores the psycho-philosophical inner worlds of everyday people in order to better understand ourselves.
