BEST DAMN POETRY SHOW: A monthly spoken word exhibition.

Run your mouth or just come clap your hands at our first gig of 2010 in our NEW home--> The Elevens!

We'll start off with a spoken word Open Mic, then two Feature Poets will perform!

1. Omoizele “Oz” Okoawo has been astounding Boston audiences for more than a decade with his great and powerful performance work. A National Poetry Slam Individual Finalist in 2007 and the door-busting lead-off poet in Team Finals in 2008, Oz's graceful command of craft and vocal ability makes him one of slam's toughest acts to follow —yet he remains a surprisingly reluctant performer.

2. Danielle Carriveau, with her sensual syntax and sultry cadence, was a prominent and provacative feature of the Boston slam scene in the 90's and resurrected her spoken word pursuit by competing at the national SLAM in 2009. A compelling and poised performer, Dani now takes hold of the mic as a magnifying lens to expose to the audience the exquisite and excruciating beauty cowering in the dark corners of her memory.

Organized and hosted by Dana Wilde and Tanya Rubins.
