each month at the Village Arts Gallery (1 Ekman Street, Worcester). The
reading starts at 8:00 p.m. There will be an open mic followed by
a feature from <b>Ted Blackler</b>. Blackler has promised an eclectic and
occasionally silly mix of short writings, including anecdotes from the
scientific community, "minutes" from "off-site strategy meetings", snippets
from his work-in-progress fantasy novel and an invocation of spring.</font></p>

Join the Poets' Asylum on Sunday, May 10th for our regular

and writer living in Worcester. He is a veteran of several Worcester
and Providence poetry slam teams, most recently the 2007 Worcester
Poetry Slam Team that competed in Austin, TX. Best known for his
humorous work he also crafts startlingly honest pieces that frame the
answers to questions unspoken. If the last time you heard from him
was back on a slam team you should come hear him now.</font></p>
