Hi poetry supporters,
Kelley forwarded me this string. I ran the OccuPoetry series at OB (
http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2011/11/11/poets-add-rhyme-reason-humor-camp/tsOKd8xllDiCbaYn2pV9GN/story.html)
with Peter Desmond, and would love to host and continue it. I'm not
personally involved in the slam phenom, have always been morally opposed to
competition in poetry - but would do it at the Cantab if it was open to it.
I know many people in the poetry scene.
Pedro Malave of SEIU who has read in OccuPoetry has suggested that we
possibly take over the State House steps a week from Friday with a poetry
protest, so I'll be sending out an email blast soon on that and hope you
all could participate.
Please keep me posted, thanks very much.
Susie Davidson

Occupoetry! I could also see if the Cantab Lounge in Central Square might
be interested. Their Wed. night poetry open mic is usually pretty good, and
there's a few Occupiers among their regulars. I read an Occupoem (heh heh)
a few weeks ago, and folks asked me good questions afterwards. I wonder if
it might be possible to host an Occupy the Cantab evening which might
include Occupy-themed poetry, music, etc. I could ask how to go about that
next time I'm there.

Hi Ya,
Kelley From Music and Events.
We originally booked Susie's Poetry group called "Occupoetry" back in Oct,
at Dewey Square. They were also featured in the Boston Globe and became a
regular event every Friday at Dewey Square.
Im sure Susie would love to be involved in continuing her series into the
clubs as well. Brookline Booksmith also has a downstairs space they may
lend.
Let me know if you would like her email to get in touch.
As she orginally established this group called Occupoetry!
Cheers
Kelley
