WED July 27, 2016 - 7 pm John Dorsey and the Cringers: the Poetry Sucks Tour
From the shores of Lake Erie, poets John Dorsey, Nathanael Stolte, Mistral Khan-Becerra, and Robert Smith present the "Poetry Sucks" tour.
at Jules' Poetry Playhouse - enter on GRANITE between 5th & 6th, Albuquerque.
John Dorsey is a poet, playwright, journalist, and screenwriter who has lived for several years in Toledo, Ohio, where he writes for the Toledo Free Press and the Glass City Muse. He is the author of several collections of poetry, including "Teaching the Dead to Sing: The Outlaw's Prayer" (Rose of Sharon Press, 2006), "Sodomy is a City in New Jersey" (American Mettle Books, 2010), "Leaves of Ass" (Unadorned Press, 2011), and "Appalachian Frankenstein" (GTK Press, 2015). Dorsey has performed with noted poets like S.A. Griffin, Scott Wannberg, Ellyn Maybe, and David Smith, and co-edited, with David Smith, "Numbskull Sutra: The Selected, Collected, and Rejected Poems of S.A. Griffin" (Rank Stranger Press, 2007). His play "Moon Magnets" was produced off-Broadway at the Producer’s Club in NYC and a feature-length motion picture, "Buffalo Diamonds," is in post-production.
Nathanael William Stolte co-hosts the Ground and Sky Buffalo Poetry Series at Rust Belt Books, is a member of Just Poets of Rochester, and published his first chapbooks "A Beggar’s Book of Poems" and "Bumble Bee Petting Zoo" in 2015. This year he has published "9 by NWS" and "8 by NWS." His fifth chapbook, "Fool Song," is due this summer. He is one-third of CWP Collective Press and co-founder of Cringe-Worthy Poets Collective. He is a madcap, DIY, Buffalo bred and corn-fed poet. His works have been described as cathartic-confessional and nostalgic-reverie.
Mistral Khan-Becerra is the first person in her Chilean family born in the United States. She is also a member of Just Poets of Rochester. Her writing focuses on the discrepancy between perceived intimacy, and actual intimacy present within familial and romantic relationships. Her first chapbook, "Could I Stay Here?", was published in February of this year. Mistral is one-third of CWP Collective Press and co-founder of Cringe-Worthy Poets Collective.
Robert Smith (not that Robert Smith) is a second-generation American. Born in the West of Buffalo, and raised in the South, Robert draws his poetry from memories that are splattered across his Buffalo upbringing. Whether the message be abstract or concrete, the foundation of the poem is most likely rooted from some corner in the Frankenstein city that is Buffalo. Writers from the Beat Era play a large role, and he also draws from early American Romantics. Robert writes to express the struggle of the poverty American upbringing, and hopes to capture it, and preserve it.
