Back from NY The Nuyorican Poets' Cafe ROCKS! There were over 250 people at the slam on July 6! Also, great to see so many of my homies- Milwaukee folks, that is- at Nuyorican feature with the exceptionally gifted Jen Benka on July 7. Maggie Balistreri and Jackie Sheeler, AKA http://www.poetz.com/, also attended. They run the hottest NYC online poetry calendar around, and host the Pink Pony- details can be found on the poetz.com site. Bar 13, hosted by the sweet and extremely talented Guy LeCharles Gonzales, is the poetry hot spot in the city every Monday night. Go and see folks like 1999 National Slam Champion Roger Bonair-Agard, and special guests like L.A.'s own Jerry Quickly. Poetry talent abound!
much love, Jeanne
