Always in Allan Graubard’s work there is the dreamer dreaming that he is dreamed by the dreamer, eyes wide open, seeing, yes, but also stripping through the layers that make up our existence, here and now, dark and luminous, dreamt and waking. Graubard’s gaze is piercing, it cuts through to the core, as the beings and things, both historical and experienced, that constitute his cosmology acquire movement, rhythm, sound and light, in anticipation of le grand jeu: Through these pages, at once lucid and enigmatic, Graubard ensures that his is a performance in which we are engaged participants and dazzled spectators. ~ Beatriz Hausner, author of Sew Him Up

Allan Graubard's poems, plays and texts appear internationally, with numerous translations in diverse languages. His books include Roma Amor, Woman Bomb/Sade, Hippocampus, Fragments From Nomad Days, For Alejandra, Glimpses From a Fleeing Window, and the recent Invisible Heads: Surrealists in North America -- An Untold Story. His plays have premiered and been published in the US and Europe, from Woman Bomb/Sade to For Alejandra, Modette, Erotic Eulogy, and other works for inter-arts stage. Through it all he seeks and sometimes finds the warm, transparent breadth of living completely. He resides in New York with his wife, Caroline McGee.
