Welcome to the first edition of Cabaret Voltage Online. This project started on a smoky stage in a small bar in Salt Lake City, where poets, artists, and other miscreants got together to share their work on stage in front of whoever would show up. We drank lots of beer and always smoked too many cigarettes but had a great time. We have now migrated to the wide open world of the Information- Super-Highway.

CV online is not just a lit journal for a bunch of pipe smoking academics, but a cross-genre community of artists and performers. You will find poetry, visual art, music, spoken word, essays and short stories within the virtual walls of our little bar. Welcome
