UPDATED PHOTO GALLERY
Check out the new album Anti-Violence Advocacy now available from Women Writers.

PHENOMENAL!
Last night's Old Town Poets Creole Gallery re-opening was phenomenal with nearly 30 people reading 1 poem or performing 1 song each!

Some open mikers from Survivin' & Thrivin' made appearances. Julie W. read a poem reflecting on the women's lives lost this summer to violence; a line: The trees look strange to me. Anaya read one of her (as usual!) fabulous spontaneous poems; a line: Poetry is a lifestyle.

Among the first set of poets, someone read "Responsibility" by Grace Paley, who died in the past month. The inspiring poem is available at this web page (scroll toward the bottom).

Gianni "Tupaco" Risper, Sept. 25's guest host for ESP Open Mic at Magdalena's Tea House, read a firey poem entitled "America," calling out fellow Americans to confront our nation's doings in the world.
