Join us on November 3rd as we feature the award-winning, iconic, beloved poet, Paul Szlosek.We're switching to a 6pm start because, believe it or not, I'm teaching a Humor class for WISE at Assumption University on Tuesdays in November and December.
The Broadway will take one-hour of parking ($2,00) off your ticket with a food purchase.
Owners Tony and Nequel Germano have a plethora of delightful entrees, apps, desserts, and their famous, homemade ice cream.
The Broadway also serves beer and wine and breakfast until closing (with mimosas!).
We have a separate room for our shenanigans. Admission is still Free!. All of the tip jar $ goes to our feature.
Sign up for the open mic at [email protected]. Five minute maximum and limited spots.
The Fox Poetry Series, in honor of the poet Richard Fox, is sponsored by the Worcester County Poetry Association through a generous donation from the Fox family.
I'm pleased as punch to continue this exciting open mic/feature the 1st Tuesday of the month, with a 6pm starting time for a couple of months, at such a welcoming venue.
Please join us on November 3rd!
Paul Szlosek is a poet, photographer, blogger, magician, and “cranial fermenter” (a term he has personally coined) born in Southbridge, Massachusetts, but currently resides in the nearby metropolis of Worcester. A recipient of the 2001 Jacob Knight Award for Poetry, the 2023 Stanley Kunitz Medal, and the 2024 Frank O’Hara Poetry Prize, he was co-founder and co-host of the Poet’s Parlor open mic & reading series in Sturbridge and later in Southbridge. Paul now runs the Poetorium Too poetry reading (along with Ron Whittle) which originated as the Poetorium at Starlite in Southbridge but has since moved to the TidePool Bookshop. His poetry has appeared in numerous local & national print & online publications including The Worcester Review, Worcester Magazine, Radius, Sahara, Concrete Wolf, Soul-Lit, Diner, Poetry as Promised, & Silkworm. Paul is probably best known in the Central Massachusetts poetry community for his fanatical obsession with obscure poetry forms, and has invented his own including the ziggurat, the streetbeatina, the hodgenelle, the lux, and the singsangsong which he often shares with readers on his poetry blog Paul’s Poetry Playground @ https://playground.poetry.blog/. He has also gained a legendary reputation, for some inexplicable reason, as a poet whom no one wants to follow in an open reading. Paul also always seems to be involved in other various poetry projects in the poetry community including a collaborative poetry reading and open mic with the Worcester Artist Group at the Hunchback Gallery this last September and is currently developing a series of workshops and programs concerning AI and the Poet for the Worcester County Poetry Association.
