Once Allen Ginsberg drew the line after having read Howl, the world was never quite the same.
And now a new time has come, where silent voices of many generations are ready to be heard once again.
The underground and other factions of artists, poets, musicians, and eccentrics are rallying together in mass exodus to commune with each other in Connecticut.
This will be the largest free poetry festival ever held in Connecticut and the Eastern Seaboard.
Who ever participates in this festival will not only network, meet publishers, see old friends and meet new ones, but will also directly contribute to making history.
This will be the Woodstock of poetry festivals.
The underlying intent, in addition to celebrating Beat poets and authors, is to take poets of minor note, regional fame with unknowns and give them strong exposure, just as was the case for our antecedents at 6 Gallery.

"John's a must read, check it out..." George Wallace,NYC Poet.
"John G. Hall comes out swinging from the left, trying to wake the reader from the endless nightmare insanity of a world obsessed with war all the time, soldiered by the machinery of corporate greed and religious fascism. John throws hard, pitching beatific curves with hope, heart and a hunger for peace, coming at you from the Doc Williams school of poetry as news; read all about it."
S.A. Griffin, co-editor The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry
"When John Hall's word touch the page they do so with grace and humility. I sometimes feel that John is the reluctant poet observing humanity like a bystander who does not know his place. John preaches without a pulpit and if you let him in without batting your eyes you too will find yourself on the other side of the fence wondering what just happened. But in John's case he does something about it. He dips his rough hands into the velvet of life and leaves behind a trail of metaphor and simile and two things even more important than that - heart and soul. "
Larry Jaffe - Poet, Human Rights Activist & United Nations Cultural Organiser

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!
Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
