Tonight the Poets' Asylum welcomes <b>Adam Rubenstein</b> back
to our stage. Rubinstein founded Destructible Heart Press in 2002. A
mild-mannered graphic designer by day and book artist after a quick
stop in a phone booth, he's been feeding his life to a massive book of
poems about history, erasure, and identity in the Northeast United
States. His poems have appeared in numerous lit journals you've never
heard of. He's toured his work internationally and designed for some
big folks, too. He holds a BA in Performance Poetry and Visual
Literature from Hampshire College and dreams of one day fondling an MFA.
He is powered by Rose Perez's green chile.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Come on down to Jumpin' Juice and Java (335 Chandler Street,
Worcester). The reading starts at <b><font color="red">6:00 p.m.</font></b>.
No cover; please throw some money in the bucket to support the feature.</font></p>

<h3><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">September 7th Revisited</font></h3></center>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Fun night last night at the Poets' Asylum with not one but two
great features taking to the mic. After a packed open reading <b>Victor Infante
</b> and <b>Lea Deschenes</b> shared a mix of work, mostly from their recently
published books, <u>City of Insomnia</u> and <u>The Constant Velocity of Trains
</u> respectively (both by <a href="http://www.writebloody.com/publishing/" target="_blank">Write Bloody Publishing</a>). Between them they offered up
poetry on fears, coming together, leaving and family. It was a great double
set from two of fantastic local poets.</font></p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
