Coming up on Sunday, November 16th

[image: Joaquín Zihuatanejo] This week the Poets' Asylum welcomes *Joaquín
Zihuatanejo *. Joaquín is a poet, spoken word artist, and award-winning
teacher. Born and raised in the barrio of East Dallas, in his work Joaquín
strives to capture the duality of the Chicano culture. Sometimes brutal, but
always honest his work depicts the essence of barrio life, writing about a
youth that existed somewhere between the streets of the barrio and the dream
wanderings of a boy who found refuge in a world of stories and poems. A
National Poetry Slam Finalist, Grand Slam Spoken Word Champion, and HBO Def
Poet, Joaquín has performed his poetry at universities, conferences and
poetry slams all over the Unites States, Canada, and Mexico.

Join us at 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 feature.

November 9th Revisited

Our feature this week was the incomparable duo of poet Tony Brown and
bassist Faro, who together are *Duende*. They opened with a brand new piece
entitled "Get Up" followed by another newer piece, "Ceilia". Duende kept the
crowed going with a mix of pieces from their first cd, "Jim's Fall" and
their more recent collection, "Americanized". The set included a solo by
Faro performing Francisco Tarrega's "Capriccio 'Arabe". Duende got the crowd
even more excited with "Classic Rock" and ended the evening with the
beautiful " Where Do You Live". Many thanks to Duende for an amazing night.
