Voices To Contend With. Hosted by Jack Varnell, the emotional orphan-, it is to be a hybrid event full of reading, discussion and tracks from new and well known poets alike. There are voices. Voices that want to be heard, voices that need to be heard, and voices that will be heard . So -- participate....be heard. The premiere show ill be taking a look at Musicians As Poets, and Poets as Musicians. We are all familiar with the concepts, and the voices that have inspired, enlightened, enraged and infused electricity into the lives we lead. They come from everywhere we are. We read them, hear them and respond to them. Come spend a little time giving homage. Bring your favorite pieces by anyone who may be considered a Musician, a Poet, or both.We'll be talking about everyone from Dylan to Otep, with a healthy dose of Patti Smith, Tom Waits, Jim Carroll and Cohen.
