A.N.Y.D.S.W.P.E. / Our 22nd year for the Alternative New Year’s Day Spoken Word / Performance Extravaganza event, and our third year celebrating with an anthology! The talent is overflowing and the pages of this volume burst forth yet again as more than 80 poets and writers give up their words to be sacrificed on the hallowed altar of the Ars Poetica. No doubt both you and the Muses will find their offerings satiating. Where are the masters of word and verse to go from here? Only to fame and glory, my friends! Only to fame and glory! …Or your bookshelves. That will be nice, too.
