The Norwich Arts Center continues its series of open mics featuring poets from the Hartford area this coming Wednesday, July 13, starting at 6:30 pm in the Donald L. Oat Theater on the third floor of the Norwich Arts Center at 62 Broadway in downtown Norwich. This month we co-feature the hosts of the long-standing Wintonbury Poetry Series in Bloomfield: Marilyn Johnston and Tom Nicotera (see more info below).
The NAC open mic is a multi-genre open mic. Whether your talent is poetry, music, storytelling, theater, comedy, improv, visual art, dance, ETC!, we would love to see and hear what you'd like to share. Or just come to listen and enjoy the performances. The event is free, open to all ages, always surprising, and always a lot of fun. Feel free to bring your own refreshments, or purchase at our concession. Hoping to see you there!
In her mid-forties, Marilyn Johnston left a career in communications at CIGNA for the writing life and has never looked back. Her work has received six Pushcart Prize nominations and has appeared in numerous journals, including The Worcester Review, South Carolina Review, and Poet Lore. Her chapbook, Against Disappearance, won publication as a finalist for the Redgreene Press Poetry Prize in 2001. She is the author of two full collections of poetry, Silk Fist Songs and Weight of the Angel, both from Antrim House books.
Tom Nicotera has been a factory worker, street performer, mime, water/sewer repairman, copy editor, library cataloger, and teacher, while keeping poetry as the one constant in his life. In Washington, D.C., he was coproducer of a jazz/poetry day at the Washington Monument and ran the Takoma Cafe Poetry Series in Maryland. In Connecticut, he edited Charter Oak Poets II, a collection of works from Hartford area writers, and served on the organizing committee for the 2001 CT Poetry Festival at Middlesex Community College. He has published poems in numerous small press publications, and his poems have been performed by the East Haddam Stage Co. Tom is a member of a performance poetry trio called “Not Just Any Tom, Vic and Terri.” His book of poetry, What Better Place To Be Than Here?, was published last year by Foothills Publishing.
