Spoken Word Nantucket This December


I almost feel it's unfair when I list this Nantucket venue as my all-time favorite of all the places I've featured. After all, poetry venues (as I well know) have it rough when it comes to resources, and not everyone can offer you an entire island as incentive for coming.

For years, Len Germinara and Sarah Oktay have been putting together an amazing poetry experience for both their fellow Nantucket residents and those lucky to visit and perform. I will be performing in December at UMass Boston's Nantucket Field House on 180 Polpis Street in Nantucket. I know, of course, that this is a venue that most friends and fans won't be able to attend, so I hope to bring some pieces back in the form of audio or video. Those who can come, however, I encourage to do so. Nantucket is beautiful around Christmas time (which is why I chose December specifically), and the setting is as warm as it ever could be for a poetry reading. Visit the Spoken Word Nantucket site here for more info.
