The editor of Black Mountain College: Experiment in Art, he is the publisher of Libellum books and curator of the Readings in Contemporary Poetry series at Dia Chelsea.

“Mr. Katz writes in bold, seductive lines that express the colors and sounds, the scenes he sees out of windows and the clips, so to speak, as he traverses the symbolism in many of the poems. Rain, water, drinking, clouds all play a role in this work.”—Chris Mansel, Galatea Resurrects
