The Poets' Asylum returns on August 17th

The Poets' Asylum is super pleased to announce that we have a new venue...
Jumpin' Juice & Java (335 Chandler Street, Worcester). The owners and
management loved what they heard on Sunday night at the NorthBeat Regional
Slam. The organizers are psyched to have such a great new space to call home
and we look forward to restarting the weekly reading the week after
Nationals.

The first night for the Poets' Asylum weekly reading at Jumpin' Juice and
Java will be Sunday, August 17th. In addition to a new venue we will also
have a new start time - 6:00 p.m. We have an awesome feature already booked,
Molly Meacham, to christen our new space.

So mark your calendars and plan on joining us on August 17th for the return
of the Poets' Asylum weekly reading. We're looking forward to it and we hope
you are too!
