Best Damn Poetry Show (Northampton's exclusively spoken-word poetry gig that offers Open Mic + Musical Interlude + Feature Poets) invites you to please interrupt our regularly-scheduled programming by coming out for this ALL OPEN MIC event, The Noises We Make.

This time, our Featured Poets = Y O U !

First-timers, old-timers, beginners, professionals, free-stylers, and spoken word rock stars: Come out, come out! We want to hear what you've got! Practice your word-craft, get to know other artists, and participate in building the spoken word scene in the Valley. This is a friendly environment to try out some new stuff and re-work old tricks.

All ages welcome, but know there usually is some "adult content." Even though it's non-competitive, please feel free to kick ass, blow minds, connect souls, and open hearts with your words and energy!

We're actively seeking local and new talent for the usual "Feature Poets" component of our show. Perhaps a slam is in our 2010 future?

Hosted by Dana Wilde and Tanya Rubins. For more info:
