June 7th: Anne Brudevold Features
Stone Soup Poetry meets from 8-10 p.m. every Monday at the Out of The Blue Art Gallery at 106 Prospect Street with an open mike sign-up at 7:30 p.m. On May June 7, we welcome back past feature and local author and publisher Anne Brudevold.
Anne is a recalcitrant poet since there's no money in it and she needs to make money, so she has caved in to the dirty world of commerce and is writing a not too sappy romance novel with redeeming qualities such as jabs at the logging industry in Maine and kudos to the art of knife making. She hopes to get into the mosh pit of being publishing and getting a substantia advance. She has published in Wilderness House Literary Review, OntheBus, Plieiades, University of Missouri Press. Windhorse, Black Bough, Ibbetson St., Bagelbards, Peregrine, Appleseeds, and on Spoonful. Also, Wilderness House Literary Review published her novel Hunter Moon online. She has one Pushcart nomination, and won honorable mention at the Cyclaments and Swords recent contest, and second place in the Best of the Valley Optimist Contest. She publishes Eden Waters Press. Issues are availabe on June 7th at deep discount. She likes to cook, eat, and hike. She has featured at Borders, Stone Soup, and the Moultenburough Public Library in New Hampshire. She's a little insecure, but who isn't in these waning days of the recap of the Roman Empire.

May 31st: Da Butcha 'shoppe
Stone Soup Poetry meets from 8-10 p.m. every Monday at the Out of The Blue Art Gallery at 106 Prospect Street with an open mike sign-up at 7:30 p.m. On May 31, we end the 39th anniversary month-long celebration with music and poetry from Da Butcha 'shoppe.
Da Butcha ‘shoppe rose phoenix like from the ashes of Poetry Performance Troupe, the Collective in 2006, and features guitarist, Ethan “Black Wednesday” Mackler, and Poet, D. A. “Da Butcha” Boucher, vocals.
Da Butcha ‘shoppe mixes all forms of entertainment to bring Poetry to life, from burlesque to comedy to dance to everything in between.
Da Butcha ‘shoppe has appeared on stages in New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts, amazing and astounding all.
Some of their performances have included Butcha’s birth of a rubber chicken, the Alien, and interpretive dance.
Due to the fact that they blow minds every time they appear, they have been called the most interesting group on stage today and reviews of their sets have ranged from “I’ve never seen anything like that before.” to “I don’t know what I just saw, but I liked it!” to “WOW, that was incredible!”
Generally, as a rule, Da Butcha ‘shoppe challenges what the public thinks of as Poetry, their tag line, “this is not your father’s Poetry.”
Da Butcha ‘shoppe, the best thing since sliced bread.
