Arise Ye Poets, Arise

January 19, 2007 in Fernie by keith

Once again Freshies is hosting a night of spoken word, Tuesday January 23. The first evening gathering packed the house with writers and listeners. As before Troy Cook will open the night with the Bubba Tres and their distinctive music.

Following will be an open mike, and once again it will be Troy’s position as Big Bubba to coax the retiring poets and writers of Fernie to step up to the mic and share their work.

The last evening Spoken Word held at the end of November drew a remarkable group of writers. From a pair of school friends jointly writing/reading a poem together to a poem on stars to a short insightful performance piece on humor, the evening held a little for everyone.

As usual, Kim was behind the coffee bar dispensing both fine java and her unique commentary on the evening happening.

There are not many occasions to see the writer’s of Fernie gingerly open their work to the world, so take advantage of this evening of entertainment and fine literature.

To read the Off the Street account of the first Spoken Word see “Freshies Goes to the Beats� in early December.
