Join the <u>Poets' Asylum</u> this week for our regular open mic and a feature
by <b>Susan Elizabeth Sweeney</b>. Sweeney published poems, received awards,
and earned an MFA from Brown, but it took Worcester - where she's lived for ten
years - to make her feel like a poet. Three years ago, she won first prize in
the Worcester County Poetry Association's annual contest. Beth now participates
in several writers' groups, including Shakti; features at venues that range
from WTAG-AM to Holy Cross College; presides over the WCPA; and serves on the
boards of Poetry Oasis and <u>The Worcester Review</u>.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Please join us at our new home, 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 features.</font></p>

<h3><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">September 21st Revisited</font></h3></center>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks to <b>Lisa Beatman</b> for being our feature this past
week. She shared a mix of work from her two books by Ibbetson Press. Along
the way she offered place poems for each of the Presidential and VP candidates,
a mouse perspective on progress, the inner beauty found in flower arranging
and her relationship with fire. Always nice to see an area poet as our feature.
Thanks for the words Lisa.</font></p>
