4-2-12 I have a confession to make: I have been lax in my sacrifices to the Dark Ones...

6-27-11 highlights from the reading

6-27-11 There will not be a feature, a podcast or even a reading next week---if this week's secret theme was to be any kind of indicator, then it would appear to be the work of the ArchFiend. Or maybe its because of the annual celebration of our nation's birthday. Personally, I'm of the opinion that it was Satan, who was also secretly encouraging all our poets to mumble on the mike. You decide; in the meanwhile, enjoy some highlights from this most-recent session. Part one: Highlights from the reading - Kashia Gale, Malcolm Kenyon, Boris, Tim reading his own work & that of Soren Stockman, Anita Boyle reading her own work & Dana Joya's, Ana & Shadowbyrd reading together, Jim "The" Bertolino, & Matthew Brouwer.

Poetrynight vs. Dain Michael Down pt. 2

Season 4 Episode 6 Feature Poetrynight vs. Dain Michael Down Recorded 8 March 2010 in the Anker Café in Bellingham, WA Producer: Andrew Cole Director: Robert Huston Opening Theme: Thimble vs. Needle Dain Down is a New Jersey guy. You can hear it in his voice, from the accent to the speed that he spits words out to the guy of tough guy bravado in every poem he reads, even the ones about tipping a junkyard scale at 500 pounds and masturbating alone at home. A Washington poet could write about those things, maybe, and lord knows we have our own share of motormouths, but not with the same kind of bright brittle edge.

Jason Fernandez, Elliot Jensen, Jack McCarthy, Andrew Cole and Nathan Dodge go head-to-head, toe-to-toe, face-to-face and spleen-to-spleen in a battle of epic proportions. Who will win? Who will lose? Who will be blasted into a million tiny iambs? Robin McGarry sacrifices.

Season 4 Episode 6 Interview Poetrynight vs. Dain Michael Down Recorded 8 March 2010 in Bellingham, WA Producer: Andrew Cole Director: Robert Huston Opening Theme: Thimble vs. Needle Lots and lots of words come out of our mouths this week as Dain Michael Down and I get into a fast-talking competition. Not really, although that does sound pretty awesome. Instead we talk about slam and Jersey and why white men writing about black women getting raped can be kind of uncomfortable. Insightful!
