SUMMARY:Excalibur Poetry // May 31st
DESCRIPTION:Excalibur is the sword given to Arthur by the lady in the lake. It is the legendary sword used to defend against colonialism and oppression. Our guiding principles are the same. This is a place to wield your words against the forces that would rather see us dead. \n  \nSUNDAY\, MAY 31ST\nDOORS @ 6PM + SHOW @ 7PM\nOPEN MIC LIST OPENS AT 6PM SHARP\nNO COVER // FREE FUN \n  \nAyanna J (@simply_ayanna2.0)\, simply Ayanna she/they is a Black\, queer\, activist environmentalist and poet who is committed to being love and showing love. Proudly a lesbian and their work highlights their intersectional experiences as a black lesbian\, they believe their gift back to the earth is their art\, she writes and listens as both witness and kin to the earth and invites others to as well. \n  \nAaron Gadbury (@crushedfruit) is a Philadelphia-based poet\, performer\, and co-producer of House Poet\, a spoken word dance party. Originally from South Carolina\, Aaron studied English at the University of South Carolina\, wrote for The Daily Gamecock\, and took the scenic route to Philadelphia by way of Beijing\, New York City\, and several romantic misadventures. \nAaron’s poetry is funny until it catches itself telling on itself. His work uses linguistic play\, layered metaphor\, and emotional misdirection to explore desire\, shame\, human history\, family\, politics\, scientific inquiry\, and the humiliating human wish to be witnessed correctly. His poems move between confession and critique\, often asking whether vulnerability is intimacy\, performance\, self-defense\, or all three. \nHis poetry has appeared in Wingless Dreamer Lit\, Moonstone Press\, and Pennsylvania Bards: A Southeast Poetry Review. He currently lives in Philadelphia\, where he writes along the charged border between divulgence and performance\, making shame laugh first and tell the truth second. \n \n \n  \n*** \nWhat’s Up at TMoms: \n• Sundays\, All Day Long | if u didn’t get glitter in ur drink did you even craft sunday?
