I suggest getting to the Heidelberg early on December 6th, or risk standing. Our feature for the evening will be the outstanding Roger Bonair-Agard. His bio courtesy of his website:

Roger

Roger Bonair-Agard weaves living, breathing tapestries out of politics and the notion of home; a native of Trinidad and Tobago, Roger has lived in Brooklyn for seventeen years and his work reflects the struggles of a man in voluntary exile in a conflicted 21st-century America.

A professional performance poet since 1997, Roger has appeared three times on Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry Jam on HBO, performed and facilitated writing and performance workshops at colleges, universities and high schools around the country, and stirred audiences at festivals and concerts from Germany to South Africa to Anchorage, Alaska. He recently opened for calypso legend Shadow for an audience of 2,000 in Prospect Park, Brooklyn.

Roger aims to blow the hinges off what is considered possible, to create work that discomforts with the truths and lies it exposes down to every forensic detail, and so create a movement of its very own, such that when the poems are read, they birth new mythologies in the reader’s memory.

We are lucky to have the man in, but that is certainly not all. The show will also feature the Qualifying Slam to Compete for Ann Arbor at iWPS in 2006. This is an open Slam, you need not have won or competed in any other Ann Arbor Poetry Slam event to compete. This slam will require you to perform poems in 1,2,3, and 4 minute rounds, and vicious time penalties will apply. Come one and all, this night is going to be hot.
