Midnight Voices

“the young dead soldiers do not speak,
Nevertheless they are heard in the still houses: who has not heard them?
they have a silence that speaks for them at night when the clock counts”

Archibald MacLeish

Calling all poets, slammers, word smiths, lyricists, play writes, rappers, misfits, musicians and anyone who has the gift of gab! We are hosting Midnight Voices, a monthly collaborative coffeehouse, spoken word, and poetry series at Friends Meetinghouse Cambridge (5 Longfellow Park) 7pm Jan 15, 2015. This event is open to everyone. This month’s featured reader is Christa Lamb.
            
Christa Lamb’s poem Zines are real works of art, she has four to date. Lamb taps into authentic deep waters of the soul and translates eternal truth. She invites the reader to consider, and more importantly to feel. Lamb’s authentic creations have the spiritual bend of Wendell Berry with the yearning for justice of Maya Angelou, combined in her own voice which is hers alone. Lamb, has that rare gift, and uses the craft of poetry to good effect. She is a real up and comer in the poetry world and is waiting to be discovered.  There is little doubt that there are numerous poetic accolades in her future. Lamb is the webmaster of the Smedley D Butler Brigade, an Occupier and one of the central figures in the Market Basket Super Market Story. She is currently working on a screenplay about those events as well as several other projects.
       After the featured reader, there will be 5 min open mic slots available to anyone. We encourage first timers and seasoned performers to come out. We are actively seeking co-sponsors and talent to be featured readers in upcoming months. If you have any ideas about this or want any other information please contact Eric Wasileski Ericwasileski@gmail.com

           Warrior Writers Boston and the Smedley D Butler Brigade Chapter 9 VFP, Veteran-Friends in conjunction with the FMC Peace and Social Concerns committee are hosting. These events are open to everyone. Next months featured reader is James Van Looy, Feb. 19 7pm.
