D. A. Boucher,aka The Butcher, has been a regular at open-mike
poetry events throughout New England for years. He founded The Collective,
a troupe of poets, actors, comedians, musicians, and performance artists that
shook up Boston with performances that shattered political, cultural and
artistic boundaries. He has published a chapbook, Uncle Gay Dave, and is
best known and loved for Penguins, a poignant and profound commentary
on ecological catastrophes in Antarctica, the decline of the New England
seafaring tradition, and fluctuations in price structures in the illicit
cannibis market.
