Connecticut Beat Poetry Festival 2008

 

 

Presented by The Spoken Word Series

 

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.

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.
