/// About our Feature ///
Dr. Douglas Bishop's dissertation was on the development of poetic identity, a task he has been working on for more than forty years. Todd Brunel is at home in the world of classical music, but also in jazz, playing clarinet, saxophone and flute in a wide variety of settings. Ken Paynter is a stand-up bassist with a knack for improvisation. Don Bishop is a drummer who will bang on anything to keep the beat changeable and has been doing that for decades as a professional musician. Together, they are dangerous because they will challenge your assumptions about both poetry and music; they are also delightful because they celebrate the convergence of words with the beat and the melody.

/// Safer Space & Community Guidelines ///
We strive to foster a space of inclusivity and respect. We ask everyone to not bring (in no particular order) ableist, ageist, body shaming, classist, homophobic, misogynist, misandrist, racist, transphobic, oppressive language, attitudes, and actions at the space. We look to hold ourselves and one another accountable to creating a culture in which we treat each other with consent and respect. This includes but is not limited to respecting people's physical and emotional boundaries and receiving explicit verbal consent before touching someone or crossing other personal boundaries. If you are disrupting our safer space we will ask you to leave.
Please reach out to Ricky Orng or Douglas Bishop with questions regarding the open mic or slam.
