White Sox fan who has been performing spoken word poetry for over ten years,
featuring at over a hundred venues across the U.S. and Canada. He is a
three-time competitor at the National Poetry Slam, a two-time winner of the

Warren Wilson College, and is finishing a novel about basketball.

We hope you'll come down to the Nu Cafe (formerly Jumpin' Juice & Java, 335
Chandler Street, Worcester) on Sunday night. The sign-up list goes out by
6:00 p.m. and the reading starts by 6:30 p.m. No cover; donations accepted
to pay the feature.

Here's Something Nu

[image: Nu Cafe logo] Our Sunday night venue, Jumpin' Juice & Java, is in
the process of switching over to a different name, the Nu
Cafe<http://nucafe.com/>.
You can already see some banners promoting the new name for the cafe. We are
thankful for a place to gather each week and we hope you'll continue to show
your support for the Poets' Asylum by supporting our venue.

We have started referring to the venue as the Nu Cafe. For a period of time
we'll add "formerly Jumpin' Juice & Java" to the listings. The cafe is still
located at 335 Chandler Street in Worcester and you should stop by some
Sunday night to say Hi.

June 13th Revisited

*Joe Fusco Jr.* was our feature this week. With the ease of seasoned
performer he took to the mic and shared his poetry with us. His poetry are
quick bon bons that always have a twist at their center. Joe brought DeeDee
Cole and Bob Evarts up to the stage to provide a little musical background
to his slightly creepy rework of the '60s hit song "The Girl from Ipanema".
Joe brought his set to a close with his classic hit "Gas Grill" complete
with inflatable electric guitar. Audience members could be heard humming the
chorus after the reading was over; that's always a good sign. Thanks Joe and
don't be a stranger.
