Editors Valery Oisteanu, Paul McRandle, and Allan Graubard have launched a new, yearly literary magazine – Nigredo

This publication pledges an alchemical evolution: from base components (word, image & gesture) spring final aesthetic works – free from genre or previously-defined form

Andrei joins this illustrious group in the publication’s first edition – premiered at this public reading:

Valery Oisteanu, Paul McRandle, Allan Graubard and Beatrice Hausner

NYC from the Inside – an anthology from George Wallace and Blue Light Press – hosts its book-launch reading @NYC’s legendary KGB Red Room. Andrei reads with fellow NYC insiders:

Patricia Spears Jones | Yuko Otomo | Anselm Berrigan | Wanda Phipps | Ron Kolm | Jane LeCroy | Puma Pearl | Francine Witte | Jerome Sala | Elaine Equi

Andrei returns to his former stomping ground, Monte Rio, CA, for an evening of poetry. Having lived there in the early 1970s, Andrei and his friends helped set the irreverent and playful tone that influences this thriving creative community to this day

This will be Andrei’s only California appearance
