Rush Frazier, a past president of the WCPA and all-around poetry tour de force, has organized a virtual reunion for the long-departed Poets’ Asylum for Sunday, December 20, 2020. For over 20 years, it was the local poetry hangout for performance poets and drew in features from Patricia Smith to Mighty Mike McGee to Dennis Brutus. From Eleni’s Midnight Cafe through the Java Hut and, finally, to the front room at WCUW, you could find a cup of coffee, a supportive community, and some damn fine poetry.
On December 20th, an invitational open mic will have voices from across the ether. You can register via their Zoom link or view it via livestream on Facebook. Further details can be found on the Facebook invite.
