Those Who Have Gone Before

The Poets' Asylum maintains a memorial
page<http://poetsasylum.org/memlink.html>of sorts. There you will find
roll of some of those who have touched the
Asylum, or the world of poetry, through their art. Were we were able to
assemble addition detail about the person we've put together a seperate
page.

Gabrielle Bouliane has been added to the memorial. To reach the page click
on the "Everything Else" link on the left side of poetsasylum.org. The link
for the memorial page is a few lines below the past events info.

February 14th Revisited

It was a quiet week at the Asylum however those who gathered witnessed a
tight open mic and a great feature by *Cynthia French*. In honor of
Valentine's Day most of her pieces were love themed, though the connections
were stretched a couple of times. With a cover of a excellent Tom Reed poem,
frustration at failing things and a lovely tribute to Gabrielle Boulaine she
captivated the audience. Thanks for the words Ms. French. Hope to see you
again soon.
