Please join us February 14th, for the return of 17 Poets! celebrating 10 years of hosting poetry in the French Quarter. Our spring 2013 season begins with an anthology reading from Lavender Ink's new collection, FUCK poems, edited by Vincent Cellucci. Also, John Sinclair will perform his annual post-Mardi Gras show. As always, the open mic awaits and is our main attraction. So join us and read with us www.17poets.com, Gold Mine Saloon, 701 Dauphine St.

Fuck Poems informs the carnal and vulgate with the poetic and creative agency they were born from, insisting that the art is as vital as procreation. In the tradition of Sappho and Catullus, Henry Miller and Anais Nin, yet relentlessly contemporary, this collection will titillate and infuriate, arouse and denounce, appropriating the inappropriate until the normal dissipates. Edited by Vincent Cellucci, readings by Megan Burns, Mel Coyle, Jenn Marie Nunes, Christopher Shipman, and Jordan Soyka. 

Plus special guest: poet, dancer, songwriter & vocalist KATARINA BOUDREAUX.

John Sinclair performs his annual post-Mardi Gras show at 17 Poets! His latest collection Song of Praise Homage to John Coltrane is out from Trembling Pillow Press. Visit his blog: http://www.johnsinclair.us/ to follow his busy schedule.
