This Sunday, June 7, I’m throwing the Ampersand Review Issue 3 release party. Performing with me is the 2009 Amperslam Champion and fellow contributor, Rebecca Webb, along with Tod Caviness, Darlyn Finch, and possibly a couple of other poets. Fun starts at 2pm at Urban Think in Thorton Park and it’s free to get in.
Wednesday, July 8, I am featuring at Austin’s Coffee & Film as part of Wednesday Open Words and will record the show. I am taking requests for the set so if there’s a poem of mine you really, really, really like, shoot me an e-mail at senryujournalist@gmail.com.
Thursday, July 23 is Team Orlando’s big fundraiser show, The Showdown in O-Town. Team Orlando will face three other teams packed with amazing local talent in a National Poetry Slam style bout. All proceeds go to Team Orlando’s expenses for the National Poetry Slam this August in West Palm Beach. I’m producing this show and may be a sacrificial poet for the competition. You can read more about the showdown here.
I’m working on doing a show in Atlanta, GA soon. When I figure this out, I’ll let y’all know when it’ll happen.
Hurray National Poetry Slam 2009!! Th show is coming to town!! Good luck Team Orlando!
