Button Poetry

Check it out here.

Also click on over and listen to Button Poetry: Volume One.

We are proud to share the first installment of the Poetry Observed Video series with you.

The first three videos feature Michael Lee, Sierra DeMulder and Sam Cook, two of whom you may recognize from our Board of Directors (though they appear somewhat more grown up than in their photos).

The remainder of the series will be released in an ongoing manner, over the next few months.

Please check back for more info and click over to Poetry Observed to watch the videos. If you’d like to be notified as the videos are released, sign up for our monthly newsletter on the left.

The next video in the series will feature Dylan Garity!

PS The videos are VERY high resolution, so if you’ve got a minute for them to load, crank those videos all the way to 11.

Button will be having a recording party in the coming month. If you have competed in a slam (at either the collegiate or adult levels) in the Twin Cities since September of 2011 you are ‘eligible’ to ‘apply’ to partake in our next recording party.

The final selection of who will be included on the CD (as well as who will be invited to the party) will rest with the button Board of Directors (and or the Curators for this CD), but we encourage all those ‘eligible’ to ‘apply’. ‘Applying’ (in little quotes like that) means sending an email to buttonpoetry@gmail.com expressing your interest.

Please feel free to attach the text, audio or video of up to two (2) poems you think we might like to record and put on the next CD.

If you are curious what we have liked in the past please click here, to listen to (AND PURCHASE!) our last CD.
