> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
>
> NAKED POETRY ANTI-SLAM
>
> FRIDAY DECEMBER 10, 2004

> "Imagine Pablo Neruda tossing his boxers
>
> into the lap of Edna St.Vincent Millay"
>
> The Naked Poetry Anti-Slam comes to you with the mission to more
> thoroughly entertain and stimulate the mind and senses than any
> literary event in the history of Chicago. The Naked Poetry Anti-Slam
> exerts a non-sexual, non-competitive maxim, encouraging authors to
> read as long as they'd like while audience patience is garnered by the
> furthered honesty of the naked body.
>
> Why naked? The naked body is the common experience of all people, all
> of the time. It is the page we use to write our stories of life and
> death with. It is the insistent reminder that we have more to share
> and create with together than the overdrawn differences highlighted by
> war-mongers and money-hoarders. It is the renewal we seek when a dead
> age tries to push its bored slumber onto vital and insistently
> creative beings.
>
> The Naked Poetry Anti-Slam showcases these beings, driven to the
> heights of vernacular from the simplest delights of the body as a
> blank canvas. Participate with Chicago's most fascinating performers,
> effecting our collective unconscious in rhapsody, in a redefined
> anatomy of being.
