[Info mailing list of the Poets' Asylum]

Holiday Greetings from the Poets' Asylum. We are thankful for the last year
of Central Massachusetts poetry and for all those who support us, especially
you.

Speakout! Youth Poetry Slam
Every Saturday Night

The *SpeakOut! Youth Poetry Slam* now meets every Saturday from 6:00 to 8:00
p.m. The format is an open mic, youth slam (open to poets age 13-19) and a
feature. Share a poem at the open mic, take part in the youth slam or come
see the feature. This week their feature will be *Rosalie Patricia Botkin*,
a member of the 2007 & 2008 Providence Youth Slam teams. Join them in The
Bistro in Higgins Student Center (950 Main Street, Worcester).
------------------------------
Coming up on Sunday, November 30th

[image: Step up to the Mic] Join the Poets' Asylum this week for the *Rookie
Slam*. If you have ever thought "hey, I could do that" when you watched a
slam but you haven't given it a go yet then this is the night for you. The
slam will be open to anyone who has never slammed before. The standard slam
rules apply (3 minute time limit, your own original work, no props, etc.)
and we'll have randomly chosen judges from the audience providing the
scores. It'll be a great opportunity to see what all the noise is about and
why for some folks the best poetry is slam poetry.

Come on down 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 reading.
------------------------------
November 23rd Revisited

Great feature this week from Asylum regular *Heather Macpherson*. With a mix
of new work, older pieces and covers she rocked the mic. Hitting on
relationships, rejection and love she captured the attention of the audience
and held it firmly throughout her set. Great work all around. Thanks for the
words Heather.
