June 6th: Michael F. Gill 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 June 6th, we welcome Michael F. Gil with his debut feature.

Michael F. Gill started writing poetry on September 3rd, 2007, after a freak accident with perfection on the Boston Harbor Islands. He is the co-founder and the host of the Brighton Word Factory, a bi-weekly writing group in Boston. He enjoys the rare book rooms of libraries, the resonance of dadaist sound poetry, and waking up to bake bread with your name carved in it. He reads regularly at poetry open mics around Boston and Cambridge, and can be read regularly at www.bbtp.net and the Boston 365/365 blog.

May 16th: Who Wants to Be A Stone Soup Feature And Kick Off Chad Parenteau?



PLANNED FEATURE GORDON MARSHALL HAS CANCELLED DUE TO ILLNESS.

As can be expected, noted egomaniac and Stone Soup Host Chad Parenteau has decided to be the stand-in feature for the night.

This must be stopped!!!!!!!!
...
Chad Parenteau has been brazen enough to charge poets for attending a venue that does not sell alcohol. He has been selfish enough to suffer a number of nervous breakdowns in private (tonight being the exception). This self-imposed 11th hour appointment of himself as feature is just the latest in poetry atrocities, not including his actual poems.

WE WANT YOU TO FEATURE IN HIS PLACE.

Tonight on May 16th, open Mikers are encouraged (to the point of begging) to come down and audition on the open mike to win a feature spot for the night, as voted on by those in attendance. Open Mikers, we need your help now more than ever. Critera includes having 15-25 minutes worth of work and NOT being Chad Parenteau. Once we figure out a winner, Chad will just be bludgeoned or something.

(note: there is currently no evidence that Chad put tonight's feature in the hospital in order to have the spotlight for himself, but we decided to put that in in Fox News fashion just so it can be misunderstood and spread as rumor)

Stone Soup May 9th

From Host/Organizer Chad Parenteau:

Due to circumstances of my own making, I was not able to secure a feature for this week. I hope you will accept my apologies for doing this during the month of Stone Soup's 40th and that you'll consider sharing your voice on the open mike, which has always been an essential part of every Stone Soup for what has now been over 40 years. Features return next week, I promise.
