April 1: A Tribute to Ron Goba at the Cantab Lounge

 

 

For over a decade, the Cantab's Boston Poetry Slam served as a home for Ron Goba, doorman for the attendees and friend to countless poets.

As someone who knew Ron as a friend and mentor, I am honored to be part of this special tribute to Ron happening on April 1, the beginning of National Poetry Month.

I am grateful to Tom Daley for organizing this event and getting as many people as possible to gather under one roof to say farewell to a literal and figurative giant in the Boston poetry scene.

Join myself, Tom, Nate Connors, Michael F. Gill, Victoria Bosch Murray, Jenny Oliensis, James Stotts and Prabakar Thyagarajan and countless other lovers of Ron at The Cantab on 738 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The door opens at 7:15 and starts at 8:00 PM.

I hope we can fill that room one last time.
