The Dirty Gerund Poetry ft: Tony Brown

Come on down to read your work, tell your jokes, bear your soul, all while accompanied by the coolest backing band since the invention of Ray-Bans. Open mic list is up at 8 pm, show to kick off ~9; slots for first and second half, alongside a waitlist. Don't see room on the list? Talk to Nark, and they'll see what they can do. Slots are 1-2 poems, 1 song, or approximately 6 minutes. Let the houseband know if you need their support!

Tony Brown has been writing for well over 50 years, and publishing and performing his work for over 40.

A seven-time Pushcart Prize and two-time Best Of The Net nominee, he has traveled the country, slammed for the Worcester Poets’ Asylum, and organized and hosted many readings and reading series.

He is the winner of the 2022 Stanley Kunitz Medal, endowed by the late US Poet Laureate and Worcester native, and awarded annually to a poet for life achievement and service to the Central Massachusetts poetry community.

His daily poetry blog is available at http://radioactiveart.blog. He resides in Worcester, MA.

He’s had two strokes (well, three but who’s counting), is retired and isn’t quite sure what to do with himself – yet. This is a start.
