This Sunday the <a href="http://poetsasylum.org/" target="_blank">Poets'
Asylum</a> we welcome sometimes regular <b>Gary Hoare</b> to
our stage. Gary Hoare currently lives in Boston where he writes, performs
spoken-word poetry, and paints. Hoare has been performing poetry since 1998,
competing in the National Poetry Slam for teams from Worcester, MA and
Providence, RI. He is a winner of the 2005 Jacob Knight Award for poetry, and
is the author of several chapbooks including <i>The Theory of Cows</i>,
<i>Fallback Crush</i> and <i>Awkward is Hot</i>. In 2002 he published <i>Fact,
Fiction, and Blatant Lies</i>, a journal-style novel which chronicled a year of
his life.</font></p>

<h3><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">March 7th Revisited</font></h3></center>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The Asylum was hopping this week. The new alignment of the
space at Jumpin' Juice & Java has helped with some of the noise issues and we
have more space as well. <b>Tony Brown</b> was our feature and Asylum regulars
and former regulars showed up to hear him share his words. Tony offered up
something similar, a mix of older work and more recent pieces. His topics
ranged from old artists to current events, the beloved Punk to a piece inspired
by Pink. He closed the night with the last poem in his new chapbook <i>About
A Boy</i>, <u>Rest</u>. It capped an excellent night of poetry. Thanks for the
words Tony.</font></p>
