Biography/History
Lewis MacAdams is a poet, journalist, and filmmaker whose work embraces performance art and
political activism. Born October 12, 1944 and raised in Dallas, Texas, MacAdams earned a
B.A. in English from Princeton in 1966 and a Master's degree from State University of New
York, Buffalo in 1968. He participated in the poetry and performance scenes in Bolinas and
San Francisco and was director of the Poetry Center at San Francisco State University from
1975-1978. After moving to Los Angeles, MacAdams concentrated on poetry and journalism as
well as film and television projects, including a collaboration with EZTV founder John Dorr
and the Lannan Foundation on a video series that featured readings by poets. He also wrote
and performed with avant-garde artists like The Dark Bob and others in the Los Angeles
performance scene. MacAdams founded Friends of the Los Angeles River (FOLAR) in 1986, which
he describes as a "40-year art work" that aims to harness creative energies which engage
politics, magic, and imagination "to bring the Los Angeles River, one of the most degraded
rivers on earth, back to life." MacAdams has been married twice and has four children.
