"Most good stories only have two ingredients: one of them is a story."
- Rives



Meet Rives, a spoken word artist and more importantly - an amazing storyteller. He has been coined "the first 2.0 poet" for the way he incorporates new media into his poems.

"Talking to the Hand" - I saw him perform this piece at the Bowery Poetry Club a month after the first iPad was released and like most of his work, it showcases how he takes new technology and finds innovative ways to tell a good story.
