Join the <u>Poets' Asylum</u> this week for a feature by slammaster <b>Bill
MacMillan</b>. MacMillan is the founder of the Worcester Poetry Slam and
co-founder of the Poets' Asylum. Bill was a member of the Providence Slam Team
that won the national championship in '96 & was later featured in the film
SlamNation. He was the co-host of the 2005 iWPS in Worcester and has been on
numerous Worcester slam teams. When not writing, Bill is an accomplished
visual artist and armor conservator. He can drink more coffee than the average
person, but still hates talking about himself in the third person.</font></p>
