Anna Rabinowitz

She has published five volumes of poetry: Words on the Street (Tupelo Press) winner of the Sheila Margaret Motton Book Prize 2017; Present Tense (Omindawn) selected by The Huffington Post as one of the best poetry books of 2010;[1] The Wanton Sublime: A Florilegium of Whethers and Wonders (Tupelo Press); Darkling: A Poem (Tupelo Press); and At the Site of Inside Out (University of Massachusetts Press) winner of the Juniper Prize 1997.

Rabinowitz has collaborated with composers and theatrical artists to create libretti for operatic music theatre performances that bring her poetry to the stage.

Words on the Street, collaboratively conceived and developed by poet Rabinowitz, composer Matt Marks, director Kristin Marting, and video artist Lianne Arnold, premiered in New York City in 2018.

Due to Marks' untimely death halfway through the production, a group of fellow composers — Lainie Fefferman, John Glover, Mary Kouyoumdjian, David T. Little, Kamala Sankaram, Caroline Shaw, and Randall Woolf — helped complete the score.
