November 8th Revisited

We had a smaller audience than usual this week and an intimate open mic.
There was still great poetry to be heard and a couple of first time readers
shared their work. We hope you'll join us again. Following the open *Rob
Sturma* took the stage as our feature. Rob shared work from his new book
"Miles of Hallelujah" (Write Bloody Publishing <http://writebloody.com/>)
and whether he was reading off page or working from memory the performance
poet shined through. With a lilt in his voice he share a new poem, a love
poem. He asked Questions, lots of questions. He got the audience involved
doing a bit of live looping to back up a tight little dance number. Great
stuff and a lot of fun. Thanks for the words Rob.
