Dan Wilcox checks in from the last Poets Speak Loud of 2019 at McGeary’s with the featured poet Mary Kathryn Jablonski.
Dan Wilcox spent a lot of time at the 2019 Word Fest Readings Against the End of the World open mic and took notes.
Dan Wilcox not only hosted the 14th Anniversary edition of Poets Speak Loud at McGeary’s, he also took notes on who stepped up to the mic.
The 2018 Albany Word Fest is right around the corner. In just 10 days our week-long celebration of the poetry and spoken word kicks off at the Hudson River Coffee House.
We are very happy to announce that “Up The River, Issue Four” is now available on Amazon.com and will be available at the Albany Word Fest.
The 2015 Albany Word Fest has been great and we have two more great events: the Word Fest Open Mic & 3rd Annual Word Fest Invitational Slam.
When the first Word Fest happened in 2001 it was an open mic. Since then Word Fest has grown & changed, but the one constant is the annual Word Fest Open Mic.
The kick-off, the 1st round, the ceremonial 1st pitch, the launch of Up the River, the opening lines of Word Fest in the backroom of McGeary’s.
Word Fest week is here! We have a week’s worth of poetry & spoken word events lined up. Plus, there are open mics & reading taking place all over the area.
Dan WIlcox was back in Albany, at McGeary’s, for the open mic. It was supposed to be a “roast” of Mary Panza, but that was postponed until the Fall.
