Going to be a great night of poetry at Kafe Kerouac on Wednesday night. Eight poets are competing in the Writers' Block Grand Slam. What does the winner get? The right to represent WB at the Individual World Poetry Slam in Charlotte in December.
Three rounds of poetry - three, two and one - then a victor will be given the green jacket, or the tiara, the crown, well maybe not.
As you may or may not know, I am the defending champion.
It's going to be tough to repeat. Very tough. Seven of the eight poets in the slam have national experience.
Been working on the poems. Putting it together. The points don't matter but the poetry does.
Right?
Expect fire. Hot action. A great display from Columbus' best poets.

The poems do count.
Yet again it's proximity possible for me to come listen to the performances and i need to pass because of limited energy. I'm looking forward to the chapbook. Didn't you say something about producing a chapbook?
Hope the words and the silence come together in meaning for you and all the other poets tonight.
The chapbook has been available for about a year. Show up tonight and you will get a free one.
One of the best nights of poetry this year.
