Bowery Poetry Club

Abigail’s
Thursday, January 7th, 2010
I changed my set a few times to flow with the vibe of the night. I decided to perform two poems from My Journey through poetry — Broken Angel– , the full poem excerpted in MJTP , “I am you” , and one from upcoming manuscripts, azucar. I got great response from the other performers about them so I am definitely gonna continue shopping around the mic scene and go forward with the book release.
thanks Brooklyn for the love! it’s nice to know you are welcomed back home.
