[pa-info] Asylum update (06/18/09)

[Info mailing list of the Poets' Asylum]

Greeting from the Poets' Asylum.
------------------------------
Coming up on Sunday, June 21st

Please join the Poets' Asylum <http://poetsasylum.org/> this Sunday night
(June 21st) to hear Worcester slammer *Melinda Lee*. Born and raised in Long
Beach, CA, Melinda began experimenting with words at 14. At 15, she
co-organized a spontaneous outdoor open mic held in Amherst. Since her move
to Worcester, MA in early 2007, development in the arts has been a
rudimentary focus of hers. Circa February 2009, Melinda self-published a
zine titled *Dert: A Manifesto of Art & Poetry*. Melinda is one of the
bright new voices heard in Worcester. We hope you'll join us to hear what
she has to share.

Come out for a night of great words 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.

June 14th Revisited

Thanks to the eager supporters of slam who joined the *Team Feature* this
week. Dani, Dave, Trevor & McKendy offered three poems each in themed
rounds. Round one was about fire, round two family and the final round was
reserved for intimate relations, or boinking as slammaster Bill MacMillan
phrased it.

The team also released a chapbook of their work. Suggested donation for the
chapbook is $5 though more is gratefully accepted. See our fundraising
goddess Cyndi Keeley to pick up your copy.

Slam Circus - The Big Show

 The 2009 Worcester Slam Team take the show on the road in a *Slam
Circus*on Friday, July 17th at PACE - the Pioneer
Art Center of Easthampton <http://www.pioneerarts.org/>. The team will put
on a stellar performance for (hopefully) a packed house. After the feature,
audience members will have a chance to compete with their own poems for
prizes and poetic glory. The performance will be held at the PACE Theatre,
41 Union Street, Easthampton, MA. $8 general admission. $7 for PACE members.
Start time 8:00 p.m.
