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.

Glad I got in to this sold out event. 

"Celebrate the art of self expression with this very special showcase of spoken word, music, and fashion featuring an amazing array of artists of multiple mediums. Luminary Luna Del Flor invites hostess Mars Calderon, DJ Big Leaf, award-winning musician and artist Tim Hall, poet & mental health advocate Jason Wright, and designer Nahdra Ra of The House of Nahdra to perform in Bohemian Botanica, inspired by Isabella’s own tradition of hosting artist salons."

Boston School

"Carol Weston and the Boston School"  was an amazing experience. Thanks to all the Stone Soup regulars for attending this event. Special thanks to Fanny Howe, Joe Torra, Amanda Cook, Jim Dunn and John Mulrooney for their panel work and Carol Weston for just being herself. A great way to begin National Poetry Month. Stay tuned as Stone Soup returns next Wednesday.

Carol Weston Tonight

Tonight instead of Stone Soup, please attend the Woodbine Poetry Room oral history session with Carol Weston entitled "Carol Weston and the Boston School."

If clicking here is too much of a hassle to join, I have the Zoom link here.

Please attend this event as it attempts to give Carol her proper due in the world of Boston poetry.

April 6: Help Celebrate National Poetry Month With Carol Weston

Instead of meeting for Stone Soup on April 6, I urge you all to attend this special Woodbine Poetry Room oral history with Boston's favorite poet Carol Weston entitled "Carol Weston and the Boston School."

Event moderator John Mulrooney put it best: "I think this event, in addition to her forthcoming book from Bootstrap, could be the start of not only Carol getting greater recognition but might offer a new dimension to understand poetry and poetics in the city where Jack Spicer saw the ghost of Emily Dickinson float up the Charles River."
