This week the Poets' Asylum welcomes <b>Tim Mason</b> to our stage. Mason has
been actively promoting poetry and folk music in greater Boston since the mid
1980's. A member of the first National Poetry Slam Team from Boston in 1991 and
the first Worcester Team in 1993, he honed his performance style around the
campfires of the fabled Kerrville Folk Festival giving the songwriters a run
for their money. Currently he resides in Fort Point, South Boston. 2003 saw
the release of <u>Bones and Breath</u>, a compelling collaboration of poetry
and song produced by Frank Coakley that fully merges the arts of songwriting
and poetry.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Please join us at 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">March 15th Revisited</font></h3></center>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Jenith Charpentier</b> was our feature this week. Jenith
gave a wonderful feature that involved finely crafted poetry and flash fiction
that left the crowd appreciative of her skill. All the gathered were glad to
hear this Worcester voice. Please come back. <font size="-1"><i>[Review by
