<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Please join the Poets' Asylum tonight for our regular open
mic and a feature from <b>Jon Sands</b>. Sands' poetry is a genuine look into
the mind of a moment wrapped up neatly into an anvil, then dropped from a sixty
story building. A Cincinnati native, Sands now resides in New York City's
legendary poetry scene where in his first year of slam competition he captured
a slot on the LouderARTS New York City poetry slam team, the youngest person
ever to do so; then, upshot through the nation as a finalist at the National
Poetry Slam in Austin, TX.</font></p>

Worcester). The reading starts at <b><font color="red">6:00 p.m.</font></b>.

<h3><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">September 28 Revisited</font></h3></center>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">It was a busy night at the Poets' Asylum this week with a
handful of new readers, an overflowing open mic and a feature from <b>Susan
Elizabeth Sweeney</b>. Family was the theme for the beginning of the set with
poems about her father's teeth, her mother's hair and an older sister's
voracious reading habit. The second half included an eclectic mix including a
bit of erotica and Beth's only political poem. Thank you Beth for all the
words. Thanks too to all who joined us this week. Please come again!</font></p>
