Yes friends, it's time for the 2nd installment of DRUNK POETS SEE GOD, where some of Tokyo's most engaging wordsmiths get on the mic and show their stuff. Hosted by by Samm Bennett, singer and poet
Sorcha Chisolm and spoken word titan Frank Spignese, this is the place to be for those who want to keep abreast of the latest in loquacious lingo! Samm is on hand to provide instantaneous musical backing to any poet who might happen to want it, and all are welcome to read, recite, intone, chant, grumble, shout or otherwise enunciate. Fun stuff, serious stuff, flights of fancy, hilarity, stream of consciousness, heaping helpings of free association and extended elocution. All for the cost of one drink. You'll probably want more than one, but one's all you gotta buy.
Come early (opens at 7pm) to sign up for a slot, if you want to get on the mic and show the world what you
got to say. Otherwise, just roll in for a drink and a listen!
