Sunday, March 21st @ the Poets' Asylum

[image: Alex Charalmabides] The Poets' Asylum
<http://poetsasylum.org/>continues its 20th anniversary celebration of
local poets with a feature by
*Alex Charalambides*. Charalambides is a connoisseur of poetry related hats
these days. From organizing the Worcester Poetry Collective Sampler last
fall to winning the Worcester Youth Poetry Slam their first WCC Grant, from
curating & co-hosting the weekly Monday Night Dirty Gerund Series at Ralphs
Diner to co-judging the recent WoMag Poetry Contest, from setting up
fundraisers, running weekly workshops, gigging wherever, Alex still tries to
write poetry between dizzy fits. Charalambides was the Worcester iWPS rep in
2008, he's been on Worcester, Boston & Providence slam teams and he's a damn
fine writer to boot.

Come check out the man wearing all those cool hats and hear what he has to
offer at the mic. Join us at 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.

March 14th Revisited

Fun week at the Asylum with a packed open mic and excellent feature by *Gary
Hoare*. There were several first time readers in the open; we hope you'll
join us again. Once taking to the mic Gary performed some of his greatest
hits and a slew of newer work. He covered the disco era and 80's rock,
shared a dog's prayer and tossed in some They Might Be Giants lyrics. Add in
a lesson in eating ice cream and a free mini-book for a wonderful night of
words.
