We wish we could head back to the East Village for Mimaamakim Journals star-studded gala show at the Bowery Poetry Club entitled Telos Vs. Tahlis: Identity Crises and Metaphysics a la Carte cause, well, we love Jews and spoken word and frankly, weve been having an identity crisis since exiting the womb. Besides the usual line-up of word artists, the Hebrew Mamita herself, Vanessa Hidary, will take the stage with other seasoned poets Matthue Roth and Aaron Hamburger as well as the Nehadar Orchestra and the cute-boy klezmer jazz band Juez June 5 at 7pm. If youre even remotely close, GO, if only so we can live vicariously through you.
Were extra farklempt that were going to miss this event cause we just found out one of our pieces has been accepted into Mimaamakim’s next publication. We could blog for eleven days straight, but there’s nothing like print publication to make us feel like real writers.
Yo, Yenta!
From the edge of the Diaspora rises a new generation of Jewish mother
