Jeffrey McDaniel and Amber Tamblyn

Page Meets Stage is a monthly pairing of two poets, one who writes more traditional, page-oriented poetry, and another who might be better described as a spoken word artist or slam poet. Both poets are onstage for the entire reading and take turns at the microphone, sometimes commenting on each other’s poems, and sometimes going off in a new direction. It is not a competition in any way. It’s an ongoing conversation.

Reading: “The Broken Circle Anthology”

Sunday, October 2, 2011 – 7 pm to 10 pm

Hunger is one of the worst sufferings a human can undergo; the feeling of weakness and helplessness can be devastating to the human body and psyche.

Come listen to the words of hunger from contributors to “The Broken Circle Anthology” and Urban Range poets, and learn about how you can fill bellies and hearts.

This event will benefit the Food Bank of New York and is a series of nationwide gatherings intended to alleviate hunger in the United States.

Non-perishable food donations will be accepted at this event.
