hey dave, there most regular venue for poetry at this point is in Long ranch, at the brighton bar. Once a month. The next show is Wednesday the 26th. I am familiar with your work via the New jersey Poetry Yahoo! group. You will fit in nicely there, as there is a wide range of styles. The Saint occassionally has shows, and the Deep used to. If you are serious about starting a show I have a huge amount of local poet contacts and I can put you in contact with Phil Montgomery, an AP police officer who is very active in supporting and promoting spoken word shows. There is also some area open mics that welcome spoken word/poetry: berkeley carteret on friday night, brighton bar on mondays, and internet cafe (red bank) on sundays. In addition, Upstage Magazine welcomes submissions for their monthly publication. You can send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gary from upstage also runs a web based radio station www.upstageradio.com that welcomes spoken word submissions for airplay (send mp3s to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) . In the past, there was a pretty large poetry scene happening in asbury, but it has trailed off somewhat recently. Thats said, there is still a huge pool of local talent. The local music scene has an annual 'awards' show (Asbury Music Awards) that also includes a poet laureate category (I happen to be this years AMA Poet Laureate). Again, this wednesday at the Brighton Bar is your best bet for exposure to a new audience and a taste of the wide range of styles and rich talent this area has to offer.
