Poet Louise Robertson at Wild Goose Creative

This note came from Steve Abott with The Poetry Forum - charlie 

 

Friends,

Louise Robertson of Rewriting Ovid has put together a great literary event, “Page Meets Stage,” and generously made me a part of it.

I’ll be reading with Logic, a wonderful performance poet from Michigan, on Sunday, November 15, at Wild Goose Creative, 2491 Summit Street, less than a block south of Hudson Street near Rumba Café (where The Poetry Forum meets on Mondays). There’s a $5 cover, and (I humbly suggest) the event is well worth your presence.

It’s at 8 PM, and Logic and I will be reading and responding to audience questions and observations about varying aspects of poetry aimed at the eye and the ear. I hope you can be there, and please pass this along. It should be a wonderful evening of sharing different but complementary aspects of poetry.

And please forgive me for any duplicate emails.

Regards,

Steve

1960's Coffeehouse to benefit Food Pantries

Civil rights sit-ins.  Bell-bottoms. Anti-war marches.  Student Power.  Afros.  Mini-skirts.  Hippies.  Riots.  Space flights.   The generation gap.

Those hallmarks of the turbulent 1960’s will be rekindled Friday November 13 at this year’s annual “Spirit of the ‘60’s Coffeehouse”:

       Friday November 13    7:30 p.m.

King Avenue Methodist Church 
299 W. King at Neil in Columbus

The show begins at 7:30 p.m. in the church basement, but get there early for a good seat.

Bill Cohen will lead a candlelit, musical, year-by-year journey through the era, with live folksongs, “news reports” of sixties happenings, displays of anti-war buttons and posters, and far-out sixties fashions.

Bill will also challenge the audience with sixties trivia questions, and he’ll award prizes (with a 1960’s theme).

Proceeds from the suggested $10 donations will go to the Mid-Ohio Food Bank.     Refreshments will be available at no extra charge.  Free parking is also available in the lots just South and West of the church.

The program is suitable for ADULTS and MATURE TEENS.

It’s the 24th year of sixties coffeehouses for Bill.  He’s performed the show more than a hundred times now at colleges, churches, synagogues, conferences, high schools, and middle schools across Ohio and beyond.

For more information, call Bill at (614) 263-3851.  Or go to www.spiritofthe1960s.com

Free Piano/Song Concert with Bill Cohen

Please join me Saturday October 24^th at 7 p.m. as we welcome the new piano to the Areopagitica Book Store’s cozy “back room.”  That’s at 3510 N. High Street near Oakland Park. 

To celebrate its arrival, I’ll play and sing some classic (not classical) piano tunes.  So far, the eclectic song list includes tunes made famous by folks like the Eagles, Bette Midler, Harry Belafonte, Judy Garland, the Beatles, Dan Fogelberg, the Everly Brothers, and even Jiminy Cricket.

To keep the spotlight on the new piano, we’ll also play a bit of “piano trivia.”  Light refreshments will be served, and we’ll have a couple of surprises for you.  The evening will end by 9 p.m. so you can go out for that pizza you’ll probably be craving.

It’s a totally free concert, but we’ll have a tip jar out, in case you feel like contributing to what we think is a darn good cause: helping send my wife Randi to the Dominican Republic for 10 days of volunteering with the International Medical Alliance.  As she did last February, Randi will once again be serving as an interpreter, helping a team of volunteer doctors, nurses, and medical students as they provide rare medical care to impoverished Spanish-speaking villagers.

And, back to that new piano.  It’s a generous donation to the Columbus Folk Music Society from Ann Fisher and her family.  Now that they no longer need it, the piano will be available to accompany the growing myriad of special events at the book store.  They include poetry readings, the monthly Columbus Folk Music Society Coffeehouse, the regular Saturday night mini-concerts sponsored by book store owners Rebecca and Doug Rutledge, a newly-relocated Thursday night musical jam session, and even dramas and musicals put on by the new Columbus Civic Theater.

First things first, though.  See you Saturday October 24^th at 7 p.m., and we’ll see if those piano lessons my parents paid for 50 years ago were a waste of money or not.
