Sunday, July 25th @ the Poets' Asylum

[image: Trevor Bryne-Smith] This week the *Poets' Asylum* welcomes *Trevor
Byrne-Smith* as our feature. Born on the distant planet "New Jersey,"
Byrne-Smith grew up in Warwick, Rhode Island, and has spent the majority of
his life living in various different parts of southern New England. He has
been a member of the 2003 Providence Youth Poetry Slam Team, the 2005, 2006
and 2010 Providence Slam Teams, and the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Worcester Slam
Teams. This fall, he will be moving to Boulder, Colorado to begin working on
his Ph.D at the University of Colorado. This will be his final New England
feature before he heads west.

Please join us to send off a supporter of the Poets' Asylum at the Nu Cafe
(formerly Jumpin' Juice & Java, 335 Chandler Street, Worcester). The sign-up
list goes out at 6:00 p.m. and the reading starts by 6:30. No cover;
donations accepted to pay the feature.

July 18th Revisited

Ah, what a night at the Poets' Asylum. The open mic had a great selection of
readers plus seven, count 'em seven group pieces by the members of the
2010 Worcester
Youth Poetry Slam Team <http://worcesteryouthslam.com/>. Alice, Anna, Devin,
Eric, Kendel and Taylor head to LA for the Brave New Voices International
Youth Festival tomorrow and the youth slammers showed us that they have it
all under control. Good luck and have fun.

Following the open our feature for the night, Asylum regular *Victor Infante
* took to the mic. Victor performed just six pieces yet it was an amazing
set of work. He included the full length edition of *Boys' Own Stories*, a
long format poem, as well as excerpts from a short story on working at a
newspaper and a cover of a Sarah Wetzel poem. The set wonderfully showcased
the depth of Victor's talents. Thanks for sharing your words with us Victor.
