He also played Editor Whedon in a Laurel Hill Cemetery production of Spoon River Anthology for the Philly Fringe Festival.  Mike has memorized a good deal of his poetry in case a power failure during a reading leaves him in the dark.  Mike’s wry writing has appeared in the Mad Poets Review, Fox Chase Review, and other journals. His poetic presentations feature humor and drama against a philosophical backdrop.  Mike’s poetry can be found at http://mikecohensays.com/ and in his book BETWEEN THE I’S
