And Sean, it would be awesome if you took on this project by producing  more *new* work Smiley

I don't think we should include cover poems, lol, the point of this is to produce new work, nice try though Smiley

Ouch...well part of the reason why I wanted to do this project was so that I could "use up" my old work. At the time they were performed...

2) Ode to a Slammaster
3) This Poem
4) Lady
12) Omar
14) For my sister...
16) Icebergs
17) Dr. Zani or how I learned to relax and enjoy the people who care for me

were all new poems (ie never been read aloud before) though in the case of Omar, it was just a vastly different version than I had previous done once at Bump and Grind.

The cover poem was at the cover slam and given the only thing we could do was cover poems I think we should keep it.


Still, 80 to go or perhaps almost a year if I'm lucky. Duncan...I'm coming for yah... Smiley
