Subject: Re: Poetry In Jamaica Plain
First Thursdays in Jamaica Plain
ART, MUSIC, POETRY, & an ARTISAN FAIR
On Centre and South Streets
Each First Thursday of the month businesses along Centre and South Streets in Jamaica Plain are transformed into galleries featuring works from local artists. Open receptions, at each location, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, offer a chance to meet the artists, enjoy refreshments, and experience JP's fabulous businesses in an entirely new light.
September 6, 6:30 - 8:00 pm will be a special presentation of
WORD ON THE STREET, Poetry readings featuring:
Charles Coe
Charlot Lucien
At Sweet Finnish, 761 Centre Street
Co-sponsored by the Jamaica Pond Poets
Known for his powerful readings and unusually warm and compassionate voice, Charles Coe's poems speak to the heart and mind as well as the ear. He is an award-winning poet whose work has been published in anthologies, magazines, and "Picnic on the Moon," a collection of his own poetry published in 1999. Charles also writes reviews and opinion pieces for publications such as The Boston Phoenix, The Weekly Dig, Ararat and Northeastern University Magazine.
Born in Haiti, Charlot Lucien is better known in the Haitian Diaspora as a storyteller after the release of his three CDs (2001, 2004, and 2007) in which he muses with what he calls "redundancy in absurdity" among some members of the Haitian elites. He is also an artist and an amateur poet. His poetry, mostly written French, often relies on metaphors and symbolism to convey his experiences and thoughts on issues related to fate, time, death, his social and cultural heritage. His written publications are scarce, although his texts have appeared in the Anthology of Haitian Poets of Massachusetts, Regards 2000 (Paris), Compost and virtual magazines such as Tanbou and Poètes à la Une. In Boston where Lucien resides, he founded the Haitian Artists Assembly of Massachusetts and has written cultural and social commentaries in some newspapers. Some of his texts and art works can be viewed on his site www.charlotlucien.com
