------------------------------
Coming up on Sunday, December 21st

Join the Poets' Asylum this week for our regular open poetry mic and a
feature from *Sam Teitel* and *Steve Subrizi*. Sam Teitel and Steve Subrizi
are both poets from the Boston area. Steve is a member of Emerson College's
legendary and award winning CUPSI team, The Gringo Choir. Sam is a student
at Hampshire College and a member of Manchester New Hampshire's slightly
less legendary or award winning but still perfectly respectable National
Poetry Slam team, Slam Free Or Die. They are delighted to be embarking on
their first big national poetry tour, and are willing to accept the idea
that they will be touring with each other. Their collaborative chapbook,
"Beet-itude: The Super Deluxe Collector's Edition" will be available soon.
No, that's not a typo; it's a book about beets. Like, the vegetable. Beets
with attitude.

Head over to Jumpin' Juice and Java (335 Chandler Street, Worcester). The
reading starts at *6:00 p.m.* No cover; please throw some money in the
bucket to support the features.
------------------------------
December 14th Revisited

This week the Asylum welcomed *Karen Finneyfrock* as our feature. Karen came
to us via the just completed Individual World Poetry Slam in Charlotte, NC
and had amusing stories from the gathering. Congrats go out to a recent
Asylum feature, Joaquín Zihuatanejo, on taking the iWPS title. Karen's
feature contained a mix of light humorous work and heavy-duty gut punch
stuff. It was all great stuff and a wonderful performance. Thanks for the
words Karen.
