I no longer run The Stone Pigeon poetry series, so I'm letting the site lapse. The important thing is that no actual content will be lost.

Still, the show must go on! Or start, actually. And on Monday (today, actually) December 14th at 7pm, come to Breaking new Grounds in Portsmouth and behold our last show of 2009! Who, you ask, do we have to behold this month? I'll tell ya...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Matthew P. Gallant</span> is a dynamic duo unto himself. He is a writer, a teacher, a poet, a painter, a hobbyist, a worrier, a lover, a fighter, he is a man to be reckoned with. There is metal beneath his skin and milk in his veins. Once he rode his bike to Maine for groceries and now he drives cattle from space. Blindfolded, he has walked the plank onto a tightrope strung loosely between two places yet to be determined. Cut off his hands and he'd grow new ones, take his feet and he'd walk on his hands, but just try to steal his ears, eyes or his tongue, and you'll wish a hospital was closer. In his free time, he publishes books, builds bridges and buries fences.<br /><br />Matthew P. Gallant's students are all seniors at Timberlane Regional High School in Plaistow, NH and current students of Mr. G's Creative Writing Workshop, a one-semester writing and performance-intensive junior/senior elective. Ryan Carrigan is a senior who's missing a basketball game vs. Oyster River to be here tonight. Madalyn Coryea is a senior who also sees time on the stage as part of the reputable Timberlane Players. And Micaela Russell is also a senior who's read at Bridge Cafe in Manchester, Water Street in Exeter and Brew'd Awakening in Lowell, MA. They are all so much better than Mr. G was at their age, and so much better than even they realize. You'll all see what I mean tonight.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09458061314068001717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172889762682391266.post-29327046031258538092009-11-07T16:26:00.002-05:002009-11-07T16:29:25.560-05:00November 9th Stone Pigeon!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); ">Breaking new Grounds, Portsmouth!

His poems have most recently appeared in "Concise Delight", "Bird's Eye reView", and the "2010 Poets' Guide to New Hampshire", with forthcoming publications in "O.V.S.

A member of Blood on the Floor, the recipient of the 2009 Esther Buffler Fellowship and member of the 2009 Slam Free or Die team, he is sick of writing about himself in the third person.<br /><br />Unseen the Poet has never been published, but doesn't care. This is probably because he doesn't spell good and has no idea how to use periods and what not. He believes in putting on a good live show. I feel that poetry is better seen live rather than read.

Time when thoughts turn to hot pumpkin pie and hotter poetry. And this Columbus Day, you can discover some great poets (that, just as with Columbus, other people have already discovered) at The Stone Pigeon! Surely, you must have to enter into a pact with the devil to get in on something this awesome? You'd think so, but no! All you have to do is come to <b>Breaking New Grounds, Portsmouth</b> on <u>Monday, October 12th</u>, starting at 7pm to see:<br /><br /> <u><b>Heidi Therrien</b></u> is a performance poet, singer, actor/director and painter from Manchester, NH. Her poems have appeared in journals such as, The 2010 Poets’ Guide to New Hampshire, Blood on the Floor Vol: II, Centripetal, Angelic Dynamo and her chapbook, High Point of My Day, was published by Sargent Press. A finalist for the 2009 NH slam team, her writing group, Blood on the Floor, won the 2008 New England Invitational Slam in Portland, ME. She was one of the featured poets at the 2009 Jazzmouth Poetry Festival and has featured around the seacoast at venues such as The Northstar Café, Beat Night at the Press Room, The Bridge Café and The Stone Pigeon, which she currently co-hosts.<br /><br /> <u><b>Molly Skerry</b></u> hails from a rual part of southern New Hampshire but has recently moved to Manchester to take on "big city living." She calls the Bridge Cafe her home-base for poetry, and credits the NH poetry scene for getting her motivated to write as many kick butt poems as possible. She is very excited to be featuring at the Stone Pigeon with her partner-in-crime Heidi, and thanks all the lovely poets who have shown their support to her along they way.<br /><br /> And you can RSVP to this event on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=145586949587">Facebook</a>!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09458061314068001717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172889762682391266.post-83074710918481970282009-10-04T17:08:00.002-04:002009-10-04T17:13:25.107-04:00Major video action!Yesterday, Saturday October 3rd, a pretty awesome thing happened.

In the past year, she has also been named finalist for the 2007 Philbrick Poetry Award, finalist for the James Jones First Novel Fellowship, and, most recently, semifinalist for the 2008 Parthenon Prize for Fiction. She’s recently been nominated for the anthology “Best New Poets 2009.” Her poems have been published widely in literary journals and anthologies here and abroad.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mike Nelson</span> is a poet, father, former Asian woman, and heckle-fodder for most of us poetry jerks every time he so engagingly embraces the stage. He is the author of two books of poetry, "The One in the Middle" and "Sometimes at Night", which is alternatively known as "The One with the Kitty", which foreshadows a potential future omnibus collection of his greatest works, called "The One in the Middle of a Kitty". Some say he enjoys wearing the color brown. Other say he is forced to wear muted tones, lest he capture all attention of every room he enters. He likes hugs and huevos rancheros.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09458061314068001717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172889762682391266.post-42276225890140611702009-06-30T01:13:00.002-04:002009-06-30T01:20:24.894-04:00By the rivers of Babylon, we sat down and cried as we remembered Zion.Hey!

D'awwww!<br /><br />They're some darn fine poets individually, as well.<br /><br />---<br /><br /><b>Adam Shlager</b> works as a slightly distracted consultant for the healthcare industry. He writes most of his poetry on his 2+ hour daily commute and wrangles with words and meaning in the City Hall Poets Workshop. He is currently collecting creative and enthusiastic personal rejections from some of the finest poetry journals in the country. When not writing poetry or advising someone about the current or future state of healthcare, Adam spends time with his daughter and wife, who are teaching him how to enjoy life and laugh. He can't wait to see what happens next.<br /><br /><b>Lesley Kimball</b> burst onto the Seacoast Poetry scene with the Borderlands collaborative interactive poetry sculpture in 2004 after hundreds of years of toiling and rolling around in words and stories and research as a librarian. She has had poems appear in The Café Review, the anthologies The Other Side of Sorrow and The Longest Day, and the Spotlight Magazine.

Check it out!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Redbeard Bullrider</span> is the outgoing persona belonging to a preferably anonymous and reclusive New England farmer. He fills his days with happiness by unloading his negative emotions onto paper and into song. His hobbies include poetry, art, history, socioeconomics, philosophy, political satire, and lexicography. Most all of the attributes you have just read are composed from his reddish-brown armchair, and head.<br /><br />Originally a Connecticut girl, in 1999 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lindsey Coombs</span> landed (after a circuitous journey and 25 years in New Jersey) in Delaware, where she was rescued from oblivion by discovering a crazy talented world of amazing poets plus a whole new world of Slam poetry. Thus began her poetry love affair that includes “Between You & Me” and “In Certain Places,” spoken word programs she performs at Senior Residences. Lindsey loves painting portraits of people's pets, her cat, living in Deerfield and a friend’s horse named Ignatz as well as her husband and 3 sons and one daughter-in-law who live too far away.

On the second Thursday of the month at Crackskull's Coffee and Books in Newmarket, to be exact. Great atmosphere. Really loose. Banter between and about poems. Good times, man. And... not enough people know about it. We're working on that.<br /><br />As part of a project that's going to see these same performances running on Newmarket's public access television channel, we've got 8 spankin' new videos for you!

She is a graduate of Plymouth State University and Southern NH University. The author of two chapbooks, "In Any Given Lifetime" and "Constellation Scars", Cara has featured at The Bridge Cafe, Cantab Lounge, Portland's North Star Cafe, Beat Night at The Press Room and the poetry coffee break at Breaking New Grounds as part of the 2008 Jazzmouth Festival.<br /><br />Charles Xavier Lacerte is an 18-year-old poet out of Manchester NH. He is currently a student planning on pursuing both a military service along with secondary schooling. Due to a demanding schedule of school, 9 school-related clubs and organizations, workout routines, chores, and homework, he often sacrifices sleep in the attempts of reading and writing. Charles has a large family, consisting of his mother, father, step-mother, brother, his sister Katrina (who is quite awesome), a total of 9 aunts/uncles, 7 cousins, 5 grandparents, and 4 great grand-parents. Nothing makes Charles happier than spending times with friends and family. Which leads into him always wanting to make new friends.<br /><br />You can RSVP to this event <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=78917703832">on Facebook</a>.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09458061314068001717noreply@blogger.com0
