Connecticut Beat Poetry Festival 2008
Presented by The Spoken Word Series
Once Allen Ginsberg drew the line after having read Howl, the world was never quite the same.And now a new time has come, where silent voices of many generations are ready to be heard once again.The underground and other factions of artists, poets, musicians, and eccentrics are rallying together in mass exodus to commune with each other in Connecticut.This will be the largest free poetry festival ever held in Connecticut and the Eastern Seaboard.Who ever participates in this festival will not only network, meet publishers, see old friends and meet new ones, but will also directly contribute to making history.This will be the Woodstock of poetry festivals.The underlying intent, in addition to celebrating Beat poets and authors, is to take poets of minor note, regional fame with unknowns and give them strong exposure, just as was the case for our antecedents at 6 Gallery. |
