Poetry y Mas
10.14.2007
This next Saturday (2-4 pm) at CHAC is 'Poetry y Mas'; the monthly open mic poetry night. Jack Kerouac will be the theme this month in partnership with the Denver Office of Cultural Affairs and Denver’s Poet Laureate, Chris Ransick.
The organization has started a long poem scroll, inspired in part by Jack Kerouac’s 12 foot typewritten scroll and his time in Denver (read more). The idea is to create Denver’s Longest Multi Lingual Poem by asking folks to add their poetry as a way for individuals to connect with each other through poetry and create a meaningful artifact of civic engagement. The office is encouraging free speech and the use of any language, but only ask that folks not use profanity or hate speech. Each person can add something that relates to what is written before, or add something unique of their own.
I don't know if Chris Ransick will be in attendance yet. If your in Denver, and want to contribute, contact the gallery for more information.
