Lynne Procope March 18th
Lynne Procope was the featured poet last Sunday and she was incredible! I got so much positive feedback from this feature it was insane! Emails, phone calls, high fives and etc! People loved her and so did I and I am a person too, last time I check at least!
We’ve had a great run of wonderful New York poets featured lately with Patricia Smith, Sparlha Swa and Lynne. Next week we have Ekayani, who is also from NY!
Eric Darby won the slam last Sunday. Cole made him work for it though! Eric is also one of our new host for the slam so it was good for him to get the win. Tai hosted the slam last week and she was good. Her first time hosting and she was a little nervous but she’ll be fine after a few more turns and a couple of pointers. She’s got great presence!
I hosted the open mic and Bryonn Bain was back in the house!! A good open mic with a few new voices too. I’ll see you next week for Ekayani and The Healing Band.
Every Sunday with a Poetry Slam starting at 7:30pm and a Featured Poet and Open Mic accompanied by the Jeff Robinson Trio starting at 9:00pm - there’s a $5 cover and you must be 21 to enter the venue - Sultry red lights, intimate tables, and wooden church pews give this small room one of the best ambiances in town.
