Back to Journal  « Film - Millions | Carrboro Poetry Festival 2005 | Balloon Animals » Carrboro Poetry Festival 2005 May 20, 2005 The 2005 Carrboro Poetry Festival gets some love from the The Independent Weekly this week. Tomorrow and Sunday, come hear approximately 40 amazing and distinct, local and not-so-local poets in what's certainly the largest exclusively-poetry gathering I've ever attended. I'm a big fan of spoken word poetry which includes, but is not limited to, performance poetry. One of the personal projects that got me excited about starting up Telltale, in fact, was the prospect of recording Whitman's entire Leaves of Grass collection (I'll hopefully finish up Song of Myself--the longest, most famous book--in June). Unfortunately, a Justin Meckes short film was rescheduled to shoot this weekend, and I'm acting in it, so I unfortunately won't be able to attend this year. But if it's half as fun as last year's (the first such festival, if I remember right), then I guess you'll have half as much fun as I did. Hope they post MP3s again at the site like they did last year; I didn't go to all the sessions, but I got to hear a lot of what I missed. I also got a note from Flicker that Attack of the 50' Reels is also going on this Saturday in Carrboro, where you have nine hours to make a Super 8 film. So I guess artsy types in Carrboro have a lot of options this weekend. Go to it. |
