The April FIRST TUESDAYS open mic night featured amazing Barry Wallenstein, accompanied by Vincent Chancey on the French horn. The collaboration resulted in a whirlwind of poetry and music, with solos offsetting words and vice versa. The performance was captured on video by Ted Maniatakos, and will be edited and available for viewing shortly.
A diverse mix of regulars and newcomers reading in Spanish and English took the stage all night long. Highlights included Nietzsche quotes, readings off blackberrys and the modern version of Noah’s ark.
The 3 day JHPF summer festival is approaching quickly and will be held on june 18-20. We invite anyone who has been attending the open mics and workshops to put forward ideas, suggestions, or any help to make this event successful. Please stay tuned to the website to see updates on poets reading and all of the events occuring on the three days.
Check out the new pictures below, and join us again for the next first Tuesday on May 5th (cinco de mayo!) at Terrazza Café!
