We are excited to have Zev Torres as our featured poet for the month of April. This is Zev's first time featuring at Tom Kane's Boulevard Bards.
Zev is a writer and spoken word performer who seeks to unearth hidden veins of emotion from ordinary experiences.
Zev’s poetry has appeared in numerous print and on-line publications including, Great Weather for MEDIA’s anthology, I Let Go of the Stars in My Hand, The Screech Owl, The Linnet’s Wings, First Literary Review-East, and Typoetic.us, and in three self-published chapbooks: Revision (2010), In Celebration of Hope and Change (2009) andPercussion Suite (2008).
Zev’s spoken word performances expand on his creative process, often melding his own poetry into new pieces, and freely employing the words of others -- Ovid, Neruda, Rossetti and Angelou, to name a few –creating elaborate and unexpected constructs.
In 2010, Zev founded the Skewered Syntax Poetry Crawls and, since 2008, has hosted Make Music New York’s annual Spoken Word Spectacular.
After Zev's reading we will have a musical interlude, and as always the open mic. So put a poem in your pocket and come down and read, or just relax and enjoy some great poetry and spoken word, and a tune or two.
Following the reading everything will be 15% off!
Please note: We will be starting promptly at 7:00 pm and ending by 8:30, so please be ready to limit your poems depending on the number of poets at the open mic.
When: Wednesday, April 8
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Where: Boulevard Books & Café

Hi all,
ReplyDeleteWe are sad to announce that due to circumstances beyond our control we are changing the format of this month's Tom Kane's Boulevard Bards to open mic, due to the passing of our featured poet, Zev Torres' father. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Zev and his family at this time.
We are still hoping to be able to feature Zev at Ken Sielgeman's Brooklyn Poetry Outreach at the end of the month.
Please put a couple of extra poems in your pocket and come down this Wednesday evening.
