Poetry in Bars: A Slurred Manifesto - E-book - ePub

Is there poetry in bars? You bet there is! Sometimes it is a drunk on a stool bragging. That's poetry. But other times, bars can host a poetry reading. Is that a good idea? Sure. Why not! What you have here is a book that shows you why and how to make a poetry reading in a bar. It goes through setting it up and running it. You can read this book and decide that you too want to run a poetry reading at a bar.
And that's great. The world needs more drunken poetry readings! David Macpherson has been the host of bar based poetry readings for over a decade and he is more than willing to sober up enough to let you know the ins and outs of running one of these spoken word events. It is an irreverent look at poetry and bars.
