[image: Joe Fusco Jr.] The Poets' Asylum <http://poetsasylum.org/> continues
its round up of area poets with supermarket guy and funny man *Joe Fusco Jr.
* Joe's been gracing area stages with his poetry for years, offering up his
common sense wisdom and humor. His poems usually involve ordinary events
that concern his family and/or friends with a slight twist. Joe also writes
songs and performs with the non-musical group the *Inflatables*. His work
has been published regularly in Worcester Mag, as well as Worcester Review,
Sacred Fools, and the erotic e-zine Clean Sheets. Joe has a new CD called "
Funny Stuff."

Come down to Jumpin' Juice and 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.

June 6th Revisited

The Poets' Asylum had a fun reading this week with a much smaller open than
last week :-) and a feature by the members of the 2010 Worcester Youth
Poetry Slam Team. Alice Beecher, Eric Devenney, Kendel Joseph, Taylor
Liljegren and Anna Meehan shared some really wonderful work with Kendel and
Taylor kicking off the feature with a dual-voice piece. Each of the team
members performed two individual poems as well. They each have some solid
work in their repertoire and with lots of practice and memorization they'll
make a strong showing at the Brave New Voices International Youth
Festival<http://www.bravenewvoices.org/>in July.

The Youth Poetry Slam Team is looking for funds to pay for travel expenses.
If you would like to make a donation please visit worcesteryouthslam.com for
