RIP Ry Frazier



The Bridgewater Poetry Slam, which later evolved into Poetrribe, met in a number of places in Brockton and Bridgewater, Massachusetts. The spoken word venue changed locations so much, it earned them the nickname "Pomads."

Poetribe was beautifully all-inclusive, mixing the quieter verse of David R. Surette and Victoria Bosch Murray, the more extroverted, playful poetry of Len Germinara, the stern voice of Frank Miller, and the booming voices of the more youthful attendees.

It was the perfect setting for me to hear young Ry Frazier for the first time.

Scenes from Poetribe

After a hiatus, Poetribe returned as a poetry venue this past July, making me the first feature under new host Erin Feeney. I've been meaning to blog about that day, and I mean to post some video from last night's reading with Ryk McIntyre. For now, here are two videos I forgot to post on YouTube a while ago.


Two poems by Rene Schwiesow





"Requiem for Remembrance," A Poem by Frank Miller. A fragment from a poem published in its entirety in the Brockton-based City Lights anthology.
