<h3><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Coming up on Sunday, September 20th</font></h3></center>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><img src="http://poetsasylum.org/images/DaveMacpherson2.png" title="Dave Macpherson is our feature on September 20th!" alt="Dave Macpherson" align="right" hspace="5">
This week the <a href="http://poetsasylum.org/" target="_blank">Poets' Asylum
</a> welcomes <b>Dave Macpherson</b> as our feature. Macpherson is a fixture
on the Worcester poetry scene. He might be in front of the mic sharing his
unique take on the secret lives of superheroes, <a href="http://www.everydayfiction.com/67-mustang-by-dave-macpherson/" target="_blank">classic cars</a> or suburban housewives. He might be helming
the once a month Worcester Storytellers. Or he could be quietly deliberating
as one of the assistant editors for Ballard Street Poetry Journal. What is
certain is that when he steps up to the mic he brings the best words he has to
offer. A prolific writer Dave is always finding a new topic to tackle,
offering a fresh take on legends, urban myths and the everyday.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">You don't want to miss this feature, even if you think you've
heard everything he has to offer, because you haven't. Join us at Jumpin'
Juice & Java (335 Chandler Street, Worcester). The sign-up list goes out
around 6:00 p.m. and the reading usually starts by 6:30 a poetry open mic. No
cover; please put some money in the bucket to pay the feature.</font></p>

<h3><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">September 13th Revisited</font></h3></center>
<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Corrina Bain</b> was our feature this week. Corrina
delivered a great feature with practiced ease and powerful words. With deep
insight she crafts tight works that draw our minds toward places it would
rather not dwell. Whether she is talking about brutal rape, self hatred or
that friend your not really close to any more her words pull you in, make you
sit on the edge of your seat, make you want more. Thanks for sharing your words
with us Corrina.</font></p>
