Tom Cassidy's performance poems and visual poems have appeared in publications, galleries and museums around the world. He hosted Minneapolis Television Network's Access to Art series for three years, co-edited the Minnesota Center for Book Arts' vispoeologee – an anthology of visual literature and is currently on the boards of Cheap Theatre and Patrick's Cabaret. He regularly performs stand-up poetry at colleges and galleries. His doppelganger has held the same real world job for 34 years. He owes his sliver of sanity to his beautiful and tolerant wife, Dawn, and their two deranged children.
