Photo-Report: Spoken Word Paris January 26th – Separation!

The theme was “Separation” but we stayed all close together in the crammed full Black Cat cellar. 3 rounds, 26 actual performers, 12 aspiring performers on the waiting list, 8 songs including David Sirois personal jingle and those are just a few images of the night (in case you were there or you weren’t but you are experiencing previous lives, flashbacks and deja vues). If you want to see more pictures click here or knock at Sabine Dundure‘s flat. Address provided through private email. By the way she suggests you listening to this soundtrack while watching these pictures. Try the experience and see you on Monday! What’s the theme? ILLUSIONS/DELUSIONS (those little white lies).

SW 086_editTroy Yorke writes:
I’m thrilled to announce the Paris launch of my poetry book “Hole in My Side: Redemption of the Moon-Hooker” published by Corrupt Press! Please come for a very special evening on Wed Nov 19 at 19:30 to Berkeley Books of Paris, 8 rue Casimire-Delavigne, 75006 Paris, to witness the unveiling and pick up a copy! The book features 84 of my most provocative poems plus several of my illustrations. The evening will showcase readings from four poets published by Corrupt Press: Pansy Maurer-Alvarez, Kate Noakes, Rufo Quintavalle and myself. I hope you will join the fun and I can’t wait for you all to finally see the book – it’s been a long time coming! After the launch the book will be available for order at Corrupt Press but it’s better to grab a copy now while supplies last 😀
See you at the launch!
