March 28th Revisited

We had a fun night at the Poets' Asylum this past week with a cozy open mic
and the *Poem Swap Cover Slam*. Three ladies took the stage as part of the
competition, 2 named Danielle C. and April. Host Danny randomly selected
poems for each slammer as they took the stage and it was go time. The poets
did their best and gave it their all, reading with passion about public
self-pleasuring, the awakening a spring and the wonder that is bacon among
other things. At the end of the night there could be only one victor and the
judges ranked Dani C, from the 2009 Worcester Slam team, as the best
performer of the night. Dani went with home with bragging rights and an
Asylum t-shirt as her prize.

Please join us on April 11th for a feature from Asylum co-founder Lea
Deschenes.
