jacob johanson and iris appelquist have joined forces yet again -- not in an effort toward world domination -- rather, to revive the now defunct, sometimes rambunctous, always titilating monthly poetry reading once known as 'Prospero's Pit'.
join us! bring some poems (yours or other favorites), $2 (suggested donation), and maybe some beer or other libation. Every 4th Sunday at 7pm.
This month's featured poet is James Lindsay:
James Lindsay (Cambridge, Mass) writes poetry and reads it aloud when the situation calls for it. More often than not, the situation calls for it at Boston's own Cantlab Lounge. He has featured at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in NYC and SLAMicide in Baltimore. He has toured the US extensively and was a part of the 30/30 all-stars (October). An ordained reverend and a one-time champion of Roxbury Crossing's world-famous Champions of Pizza competition. He's looking forward to meeting you.

Just wanted to rant about the last poetry 'slam' at the public library on the square. It was most surely NOT a slam. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a poetry READING. I, being the ONLY person in round one to NOT read my poem quietly from a sheet of paper, got knocked out because apparently one of the judges had virgin ears and couldn't stand my foul mouth. I guess I said "F*CK" too many times, too loudly, with too much passion, and she felt I deserved a 0.0, which put me out of the contest. Please, next time, pick judges who know what the F*CK a Poetry SLAM is. Thanks. Jeremiah F*CKING Gill. p.s. : F*CK Censorship!!!
MOpoetry's upcoming event at the Gillioz Theater on Friday March 6th has been posted on my highLIGHTS section of InCityNews .com I hope you get a chance to peek at it. Please keep me posted of future events on the bulletin that I could add next time.
I love checking into your site and catching an earful of the SpeakEasy Cafe.
peace, love, & poetry, Maria Guadalupe WORDwitch
ps I hope you have an extraordinary turnout for the Friday night Gallery walk and a perfectly balmy evening.
