It is going to be hard to explain exactly what "In the Flow" is. It is not a poetry reading in the traditional sense. There is no stage. No microphone. It is more like a poetry conversation. Everyone sits around and reads poems inspired by what the other people have just read. Or they talk about how it has affected them. Or they just listen. Or they sing. Maybe something by Whitney Houston or Henry Rollins or whatever. The whole thing is about being in the moment (In the flow, if you will). Everyone thinking about and discussing something they would never have foreseen when the night began. And that is always a cool thing.
