Circus</b> on Friday, July 17th at PACE - the <a href="http://www.pioneerarts.org/" target="_blank">Pioneer Art Center

(hopefully) a packed house. After the feature, audience members will
have a chance to compete with their own poems for prizes and poetic
glory.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The performance will be held at the PACE Theatre, 41 Union
Street, Easthampton, MA. $8 general admission. $7 for PACE members. The

This Sunday the <u>Poets' Asylum</u> will host a head-to-head <b>Regional
Slam</b>. It's a mystery who the 2009 Worcester Slam team will be pitted
against and mystery is good, right? :-) This will be a Nationals-style four
round slam with the usual time limits, judging, etc. It's like going to
Nationals without the security hassles at the airport and the high heat &
humidity. This is certain to be a fun night for performance poetry so come
on down.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Plus the 2009 Poets' Asylum <b>t-shirts</b> will be available
for purchase. All proceeds support the Worcester Slam team and their trip to
the <a href="http://www.nps2009.com/" target="_blank">National Poetry Slam</a>
in Florida next month.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Join us at Jumpin' Juice and Java (335 Chandler Street,
Worcester). The reading starts at 6:00 p.m. No cover; please throw some
money in the bucket to support the reading and the slam team.</font></p>

<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks to all those you came out to support the 2009
<b>Worcester Youth Slam Team</b>. With a mix of dual voice and individual work
Elyse Bianchet, Eddy Habib, Carolyn Mshooshian, Kate Richardson, and Jeff
Seigrist gave us a taste of what they will be bringing to Chicago this week
for the Brave New Voices event. We're sure they will do the 5-0-8 proud.</font></p>
