Sunday, August 1st @ the Poets' Asylum

[image: Dave Keali'i] Join the Poets' Asylum <http://poetsasylum.org/> for
our regular open mic plus a feature by *Dave Keali'i*. Keali'i, a Worcester
resident for about three years, who has also been a Poets' Asylum co-host
for about the same time. Originally from Springfield, Massachusetts; he made
the move to Worcester because of poetry and slam. A member of Worcester's
2009 slam team, he has also had poems published in or forthcoming from *USO's
On Freeways: An Anthology of Pacific Islander Writers from the Continental
U.S.*, *Ballard Street Poetry Journal*, and *Bread Crumb Scabs*. He works as
a librarian at an academic and a public library. This is his last area
feature before he attends the University of Hawai'i at Manoa in the fall.

Come hear Dave's final area feature for many a moon at the Nu Cafe (formerly
Jumpin' Juice & Java, 335 Chandler Street, Worcester) to hear him live. The
sign-up list goes out at 6:00 p.m. and the reading starts around 6:15. No
cover; donations accepted to pay the feature.

If you can't join us in person we're going to give webcasting another try
this Sunday. Head over to

live.

July 25th Revisited

There was a packed house this week gathered for the send-off feature by *Trevor
Byrne-Smith*. Trevor shared tribute to Dr. Who, the reasons we should all be
afraid, his thoughts on "your momma" jokes and more in his 40 minute set. He
shared poems from two new chapbooks, one containing just six poems, a poem
each for the six New England states. He closed his set with the
Massachusetts poem, titled "Worchester". Trevor heads to Colorado this fall
and we hope he'll find his way back to "Worchester" from time to time. All
the best to you Trevor.

We made our first attempt at webcasting this week. You can check out a
recording of Trevor's feature by visiting
