* New London Poets
Thursday nights (8pm) & Sunday afternoons (2pm) @ Bean & Leaf Coffee House
All of us and anyone who believes in the freedom of self expression and understands the impact of honest and sincere emotion expressed through art and the postive energy it projects onto society.
So come down to select from a MULTITUDE of chapbooks by local poets,
Come down to meet some very active local poets,
Get some information on the weekly open mics,
Come down to hang out,
Bring your friends and fiends alike,
Come down to hear some original words from original voices,
Come down to read your own poetry.
Show up, Sign up,
You're on and we love you.
This is NewLondon, and we're listening.
Anderson, Jane
...coming soon!

Hollins, Tracey
New London has been the blessed beneficiary of Motown brain drain, voice drain, heart drain, pain drain and stand-up-git-on-the-mic drain. When the spirit of Joe Louis descended upon 8 Mile it planted seeds of hardship, watered them with Broadway tunes and harvested them with blood relations. The Me In Between is the irresistible, bitter-sweet fruit of that Motor City - Whaling City transplanted harvest. Qui Transtulit Sustinet!
- Dave Spinelli

Keenan, Colleen
“This debut chapbook by Colleen Keenan is suave simplicity in the language of sheer reverie, ratcheting up to social perceptions of the culture with moxie confidence she brings to her subjects is a joy. The blasé, if not laconic pronouncements of newspeak engage us as only a new voice can from the salt marshes of New London. Keenan rocks us in a city that has given up whaling instead of poetry.” -Tom Weigel
