“SETH has a leveling gaze when he speaks his poetry that
harbors power and intelligence.” — Westword

Welcome to my world. SETH’s the name. Performance poetry and experimental fiction is the game. Have a listen:
20 years ago I stumbled into performing poetry. First there was Open Rangers — our mission: to render poetry more entertaining and thus more accessible to the poemaphobic. Then came Jafrika, an artistic tour de force. And now Art Compost & the Word Mechanics…. plus all kinds of other creative collaborations along the way.

My love affair with language actually began with fiction and still remains so. Most of my short stories have been published. I’ve also written and performed radio theater comedy, worked with kids on writing and producing their stories and plays, authored a hit musical and, most recently, completed my first novel.
Along the way I’ve honed my skills as an instructor, producer, director, actor and percussionist eking out a living coordinating artistic and community projects for other organizations. I enjoy performing solo as well as being part of an ensemble. And I’m forever on the lookout for new and innovative ways to present my work and the writing of others.
My website highlights works performed with or without music. For video performances, check out Special Appearances or Gregory SETH Harris on MySpace.
