Tonight was a successful event for the Lake Forest Coffee House Club, now known as Cafe Calypso. We served fair trade coffee and cookies and cupcakes for PRIDE's Andrea Gibson event. Andrea Gibson is a slam poet from Maine, who currently lives in Boulder, Colorado. Her words tonight were inspiring, and I think all in attendance can agree that we left with our arms covered in goosebumps. I think slam poetry is an intriguing avenue for writing as it blends performance and words. I would encourage you all to experiment with this style of poetry. See if this might fit your voice. Here is a link to what I found to be one of her most arresting poems.
"I Do" by Andrea Gibson
