She has written the librettos for The Wanton Sublime, a monodrama with original music by Tarik O’Regan, and Darkling, a multi-media opera with music by Stefan Weisman. Darkling excerpts have been performed in many venues, and a full-length production ran for three weeks Off-Broadway. A semi-staged concert version traveled to Europe. Darkling’s latest incarnations are a CD from Albany Records, and a bi-lingual German-English translation from Luxbooks, Weisbaden, Germany.

She has published widely in such journals as Atlantic Monthly, Boston Review, The Paris Review, Colorado Review, Southwest Review, Denver Quarterly, Sulfur, LIT, VOLT, and Verse. Her poetry has appeared in the anthologies, The Best American Poetry 1989, edited by Donald Hall, Life on the Line: Selections on Words and Healing, The KGB Bar Reader, The Poets’ Grimm, Poetry Daily, and Poetry After 9/11, Blood to Remember, Women Poets on Mentorship, and Aftershocks:The Poetry of Recovery.  

Anna Rabinowitz is editor and publisher emerita of the nationally distributed literary journal, American Letters &amp; Commentary and is a vice-president of the Poetry Society of America and a director of American Opera Projects.</description><title>Anna Rabinowitz: Culture Vulture</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @annarabinowitz)</generator><link>http://annarabinowitz.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>

&lt;p&gt;I wrote the libretto for monodrama, THE WANTON SUBLIME, music by Tarik O&amp;#8217;Regan. It is the centerpiece of the program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;AMERICAN OPERA PROJECTS PRESENTS NEW OPERA AT PRINCETON&amp;#8217;S BERLIND THEATRE AS PART OF OPERA NEW JERSEY&amp;#8217;s 2012 FESTIVAL SEASON. COMPOSERS GREGORY SPEARS, TARIK O&amp;#8217;REGAN &amp;amp; LIBRETTIST ANNA RABINOWITZ JOIN PANEL DISCUSSION AFTER SHOWS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;New York, NY&amp;#8212; On Saturday, July 21 at 2:00pm, and Sunday, July 22 at 7:30pm, American Opera Projects, in association with Opera New Jersey, will premiere Blessed Art Thou Amongst Women, an operatic meditation in three parts on the religious and feminine icon Mary with music by Tarik O&amp;#8217;Regan, Gregory Spears, and Antonio Vivaldi and performed by countertenor Ryland Angel and mezzo-soprano Hai-Ting Chinn. The Sebastian Chamber Players and keyboardist Mila Henry perform under the musical direction of Steven Osgood, with stage direction by Crystal Manich. Performances will be held at the Berlind Theatre at Princeton&amp;#8217;s McCarter Theatre Center and feature an artist panel discussion. Tickets are $15 and available at operanj.org or (609) 799-7700.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Blessed Art Thou Amongst Women consists of two contrasting contemporary monodramas - Gregory Spears&amp;#8217; Our Lady (from medieval Provençal texts) and Tarik O&amp;#8217;Regan&amp;#8217;s The Wanton Sublime (with a libretto by Anna Rabinowitz). The new works will be paired with a unique staged performance of Vivaldi&amp;#8217;s Stabat Mater. The performances will mark the second partnership between AOP and Opera NJ, following last season&amp;#8217;s exciting workshop premiere of The Family Room by Thomas Pasatieri.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PRESENT TENSE was published by Omnidawn in Fall 2010. I was very excited when Anis Shivani of The Huffington Post cited it as one of the top poetry books of the year.&lt;/p&gt;
