Sunday, March 7th @ the Poets' Asylum

[image: Tony Brown] March brings a rotation of local poets to the Poets'
Asylum <http://poetsasylum.org/> stage and there's none better to start it
off than the fantastic *Tony Brown*. Brown's career as a writer reaches back
to the 70s when he was first published. His most recent book, "Flood", was
released in June of 2009 by Pudding House Publications of Columbus, OH. His
work has appeared in journals and anthologies, he has performed in poetry
venues from coast to coast and, oh yeah, he did that poetry slam thing for a
while too. He also performs as a member of the poetry and jazz duo
Duende<http://www.reverbnation.com/poetrybytonybrown>,
with whom he has released two CDs.  Tony will release a new chapbook this
week as well.

Sunday night Tony will present a solo show and we know he has some great
stuff in store. Come on down to Jumpin' Juice and Java (335 Chandler Street,
Worcester). The sign-up list goes out by 6:00 p.m. and the reading starts by
6:30 p.m. No cover however please put some money in the bucket; it is how we
pay the feature.

February 28th Revisited

Excellent reading this week. We move the mic stand around, changing the
orientation of the room, and it seem to make a world of difference. Ten
strong voices took part in the open mic. Then our feature, *Khary Jackson*,
took to the stage. Khary gave us wonderful set of funny and thought
provoking pieces. Moving from dance to the Brothers Grimm reclaiming their
words; from the fare on future oldies station to a new take on the Oregon
Trail video game; from Idi Amin to Happy & Rosa Parks, Khary blended his
words with precision and gave a spot on performance. Thanks so much Khary.
