Mr. Dave Nichols, with help from organizers among his fellow WSU students, has put together a fantastic night of poetry tomorrow night in the name of a noble cause. The event, "Poets Against Sexual Assault", aims to raise money to benefit WSU's Sexual Assault Education Fund and will be held in the atrium of the WSU student union. Tickets are 5 dollars at the door for Wright State Students.
Details on the features, Buddy Wakefield and Patricia Smith can be found on the flier or on their personal sites. Both are, to put it mildly, giants in the world of performance poetry who blend socially relevant verse with an unaffected, naked stage presence. Both are definitely worth checking out! Also performing will be opening acts such as local poets John Booth (also, your councilperson in Yellow Springs!), Karen Sisk and Matthew Estvanic. Columbus-based poets Spike and Barbara, from the Black Pearl Poetry shows, will also appear.
For further details about the site, contact Dave Nichols.
See you there, kiddies! The first event in a busy, busy week for poetry.
