Description
This week we present poet Kevin Burke. Kevin W. Burke was born and raised in the aged suburban stretch, industrial parks, and haunted forests of the Chicago Southland. He has found work in a grocery store, animal shelter, power plants, scaffold yard, coffee shop, windshield warehouse, film studio, bar, classrooms, the back of an ambulance, and most recently in poetry of the homemade flyers, frayed cables, and broken nosed laughter between punk-rock and hip-hop. Most recently he founded and is president of Timber Mouse, an independent poetry publisher, promoter, recorder, and partier. He likes hugs, Radiolab, “big-fat-dirty-bass”, and saying things that make people feel ways about stuff and recognize that there is electricity in their chests. @WANPoetry writeaboutnowpoetry.com youtube.com/WANpoetry facebook.com/WANpoetry wanpoetry.tumblr.com Hosted by Davis Land. davisland.info Kevin Burke’s performance recorded at AvantGarden in Houston, TX.
