As a child, Edgar was prey to a recurring dream that stayed with him long after the night had passed: The Drowned Man
On a recent sojourn in the enchanted town of Bomarzo.
If you couldn’t be present this past Sunday for Edgar’s reading at The Parkside Lounge, or even if you were indeed there, we invite you to enjoy the variety of spring- and animal-themed poems he read, as well as a story from a Southern Gothic childhood:

“Inspired by August Strindberg’s A DREAM PLAY and the work of 16th century Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel, ELIJAH GREEN follows a divine spirit as it wanders through contemporary life…the stories of the characters layer into a portrait of the interconnectivity of all humans, with each individual both the center of the world and part of something they cannot comprehend.”
“The play features a multi-generational international cast of 12, ranging in age from 11 to 72 … [representing] a vast array of experience, including established artists who worked for many years with companies such as Merce Cunningham Dance Company and The Wooster Group and new ones making their professional debut.”
Friends and fans of Edgar, we have great news! Edgar will be appearing for a one-night performance titled “An Evening with Edgar Oliver” at New York’s Pangea cabaret room. Edgar will be performing a selection of monologues, poems, and stories spanning his long career as one of New York’s most unique and beloved downtown artists.
The performance takes place on Sunday February 21.
