Coming up on Sunday, September 14th

[image: Adam Rubinstein] Tonight the Poets' Asylum welcomes *Adam Rubenstein
* back to our stage. Rubinstein founded Destructible Heart Press in 2002. A
mild-mannered graphic designer by day and book artist after a quick stop in
a phone booth, he's been feeding his life to a massive book of poems about
history, erasure, and identity in the Northeast United States. His poems
have appeared in numerous lit journals you've never heard of. He's toured
his work internationally and designed for some big folks, too. He holds a BA
in Performance Poetry and Visual Literature from Hampshire College and
dreams of one day fondling an MFA. He is powered by Rose Perez's green
chile.

Come on down to Jumpin' Juice and Java (335 Chandler Street, Worcester). The
reading starts at *6:00 p.m.*. No cover; please throw some money in the
bucket to support the feature.

September 7th Revisited

Fun night last night at the Poets' Asylum with not one but two great
features taking to the mic. After a packed open reading *Victor Infante *and
*Lea Deschenes* shared a mix of work, mostly from their recently published
books, *City of Insomnia* and *The Constant Velocity of Trains
*respectively (both by Write
Bloody Publishing <http://www.writebloody.com/publishing/>). Between them
they offered up poetry on fears, coming together, leaving and family. It was
a great double set from two of fantastic local poets.
