Please join us for our next Bangkok Poetry event featuring visiting American musician & comic book writer/artist Jeffrey Lewis!
WHEN: Wednesday, September 2 @ 8:00PM
(Note: this event is not on our normal Thursday night!) WHERE: WTF Bar and Gallery
THEME: "Broken, Broken, Broken Heart"
For this event, we've ripped off our theme -- "Broken, Broken, Broken Heart" -- from a song by our very special guest...Jeffrey Lewis!
Be sure to RSVP and check out more links to Jeffrey's work at our Facebook event page.
If you're interested in performing a poem/song/fiction/graphic-novelette on (or off!) the theme, send an email ASAP to bangkokpoetry@gmail.com. Seven (7) minutes per performer! There are only eight (8) spaces available--so contact us soon if you want to perform.
Jeffrey Lewis will be performing a solo set at the end of the evening. He will have artwork for sale as well! If you dig him, be sure to check out his full band performance at Play Yard by Studio Bar on Thursday.
We look forward to seeing you at WTF for this great event! And spread the word, if you would!

"In Memory" / 22 May
Thanks to all who performed and came out for the last Bangkok Poetry happening a few weeks back -- and/or the special Bombyx Stories event at Opposite last week.
We wanted to give you a heads-up about our next event in a few weeks!
Please join us on Thursday, May 22 at 8:00PM at WTF Cafe & Gallery for "In Memory."
For this event, we're looking for performers who can find some compelling way to explore the theme's many possible meanings. Perhaps you'd like to tackle something about the nature of memory (what we remember, what we forget). Or tell a story that has remained with you for some curious reason. Or maybe you'd like to explore the idea of "memorial" and give an elegy for someone you've known or admired who has passed recently.
If you'd like to perform a poem, rap, short film, graphic novelette, or story (under seven minutes) email us your idea, and we'll get you on the list: bangkokpoetry@gmail.com .
And if you know of other artistic events going on in the city, please send us the details and we'll spread the word here and on our Facebook page (facebook.com/bangkokpoetry).

"Cover Songs" / 3 April
Thanks to all who performed and came out for the last "Sounds so soulful, don't you agree?" happening.
Please join us on Thursday, April 3 at 8:00PM at WTF Cafe & Gallery for "Cover Songs."
For this event, we're looking for performers who can bring us surprising, creative new versions of their favorite (or least favorite...) poems, stories, songs. Think: "Wrecking Ball" as a spoken word piece. Star Wars as a folk song. Breaking Bad as a haiku.
If you'd like to perform, send us an email at bangkokpoetry@gmail.com. Email soon, as spots will go quickly.
Hope to see you there!

"Emergency!" @ Bangkok Poetry / March 28
As you know, Opposite (our fantastic host venue) is currently being gutted, carpentered, and plastered into its new incarnation: the restaurant and bar Opposite Mess Hall. It's going to be awesome! And we're excited to be part of their series of re-opening events in early May -- more on that soon!
But, my friends, the muse cannot wait! So it's time for some emergency poetry (and fiction and spoken word and film and music and...).
Please join us on Thursday, March 28th @ 8:00PM for a special Bangkok Poetry at our old venue, WTF Cafe and Gallery (back across the alley from Opposite).The theme is, yes, "Emergency!"
Think O'Hara's "Meditations in an Emergency," or the "Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures" that UN relief workers get up to, or the sci-fi-but-sadly-not vision of "The Long Emergency" of climate change, or even Don Henley's "New York Minute" (..."somebody's going to emergency, somebody's going to jail.") Or think whatever ya damnwell please. But be creative, surprise yourself, and see what inspires you to create something new!
There will be only eight (8) performance spots available, 5-7 minutes each. So if you're interested in performing a poem, song, film, graphic novelette, musical amalgamation, or story, then email ASAP: bangkokpoetry@gmail.com .
If you've attended events at WTF before, you'll remember that the performance space is quite small, seating very limited. So it'll be an intimate, old-school, speakeasy, sidle-up-to-your neighbor kinda happening.
