Sunday, Jun 27th @ the Poets' Asylum

[image: Jon Wolf] It's been a long while since he's taken to the *Poets'
Asylum* mic. This week we welcome *Jon Wolf* as our feature. Jonathan Wolf
is a poet and hacker who has been involved as both a coach and a competitor
for several Worcester slam teams. A fixture in the local performance poetry
community, he is currently working on a book of poems involving birds,
mathematics, and the Bible. On good days, he's a hopeless romantic. He
currently resides in Worcester with his cat and several computers.

Come down to 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.

June 20th Revisited

It's tough to be the featured poet sometimes, especially when the reading
falls on one of those "days". You know, the days that aready have some other
signifance, like Father's Day. "Days" like those almost always run to lower
attendance and/or late arrivals. Some features might take that as a sign
that they can give less than their best effort. That was not the case with
our feature Sunday night. *Nick Fox* took to the mic before maybe a dozen
folks in the audience and he performed as if he were speaking to 200. With
confidence he shared pieces on-page and off-page, connecting with the
audience on topics such as fathers (how apropos) and love lost. Toss in a
few facts about mules, a couple of covers and the premiere of a persona
piece named "Scrap Metal Angel" and you have one heck of a feature. Many
thanks Nick.
