Next Week’s Featured Dead Poet: (May 20th)

Charles Bukowski!

Unclassical Symphony:

The cat murdered

in the middle of the street

tire-crushed

now it is nothing

and neither are

we

as

we look away.

Trout. All Trout.

In light of the fact that tomorrow evening is Richard Brautigan Night, and being your host I will confess that he happens to be my single favorite author- I shall post a poem in dedication-

“Sometimes, you’re walking in a stream of trout

and you try really hard to see other things

but all you can see are trout,

I give up.

I will never be happy.”

NEXT WEEKS FEATURE is local poet Max Taylor, proud new creator of B.O.R.B. Magazine which you may have seen floating about Boulder recently- with poems sounding something like a beatnik pirate met slam poetry and created an eco-concious, in love chainsmoker, attempting to quit smoking while all the while wondering what the whole crazy planet spins for- or around…Max is also currently commandeering Cafe Babu events and the interiors of the shoppe itself. Come check him out on the 13th, Tuesday Night, as part of An Untitled Piece…

In other news: Calling to all musicians in Boulder- The beloved Robb’s Music Store is soon moving to a different location, soon to be 30th street, and are currently having an incredible sale on all their merchandise- so if you happen to need to restring your guitars, buy new picks, or pick up the drum set your mother never let you have- now is the time. I suggest you go before they become difficult to get to by foot.

And…the last tidbit of information for the night… The Sandbox Poets Press, a small magazine put out for and by An Untitled Piece Poets is delayed by a week due to your host living a busy life with a small wallet- sorry for anyone who was biting their fingernails in anticipation- it’ll be one more week and a couple more trips to the copy store.

See you all tomorrow night for a trout reading with Richard Brautigan.

Reading material will be available and please, don’t bring any dead fish. Just poems, instruments, voices and ears.

Next up on the poetry roster:
Richard Brautigan Night! May 6th!

*Reading Material will be available for your browsing or on stage reading pleasure.

ALSO: Sandbox Poets Publication—will have its first official publication (hopefully) arriving this Tuesday- it’s a small zine with An Untitled Piece’s upcoming events, baobob tree press releases, poems, drawings and other good stuff for you and the world around you.

News:

The season is off to a great start so far, with new faces arriving and more music than previously performed. I can’t help but give a large thanks to Mike Smith, Mark Inman, Trident Cafe, Rob Geisen and Olatundji for all their help.

NEXT WEEKS FEATURE: ROB GEISEN, you may know him as the co-founder of the BURNT TOAST poetry readings as well as the editor of Illiterate Magazine, a great poet notorious for his stabs at heartbreak and passion for zombies. He’s releasing a book this Friday, “Avenge Me”, as part of the Get In The Car, Helen series at Albums Bistro on The Hill at eight o’clock p.m. Ten Dollars gets you a book, an audio CD of his poetry as well as the viewing of live music and intangible things such as joy, fun, and in-explanatory laughter.

Below, you can see what he looks like holding an onion.

IN OTHER NEWS: B.O.R.B. (band of rogue bandits) will now be available at the readings, it is a new semi-monthly zine put out by local poet Max Taylor. It features poems, tips of eco-friendly living (such as bicycles instead of all the oil your cars consume), recommended poetry readings and events in the area and has lovely sewn sides and is well crafted with love. Right now, its growing- thus free, and may soon be 25 cents. I highly recommend picking one up and flipping through it. There’s nothing quite like a dose of boulder from a true Boulderite who isn’t completely lost in the world of italian bicycle racing hot yoga mountain climbing health-o-centric living, but instead, a lover of local art and the community creation and appreciation of its possibilities and exposure.

NEXT WEEKS (usually dead and well versed) FEATURE POET:

Spring Edition Events Calender

This here is the Spring Edition- aka April 15th-May 6th calender for the upcoming readings and features there-in. It is with great anticipation that we will be presenting Rob Geisen on the 29th, local writer, editor of Illiterate Magazine, co-runner of the Burnt Toast Readings and all around zombie-loving, hilarious and great man. I’m hoping to get Ronald Ray Gun and the Task Force Band for the opening night, but it’s still unsure if thats exactly going to happen or not. Stay Tuned.

Looking forward to seeing all of you there.
