This week at the <a href="http://poetsasylum.org/" target="_blank">Poets'
Asylum</a> we'll close out February with a feature by <b>Khary Jackson</b> (aka
6is9), the St. Paul, MN powerhouse who took the indy crown in 2007. Jackson is
a poet, teaching artist, playwright, actor, dancer and sometime musician. He
is a Detroit native, currently representing the Twin Cities. His aim is to be
a quality ambassador of poets, as well as artists in general.</font></p>

<p align="justify"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Marc Marcel</b> returned to the Asylum this week as our
feature. With a practiced ease filled his set with poetry and banter. His
dynamic voice filled the room even as he struggled with the mechanics of the
mic stand (and a couple of loud voices in the back of the room). We're
thankful to have him in the house. Thanks too for the new folks who read in
our open mic; we hope you'll join us again.</font></p>
