Thursdays at the GoldMine they have been running a poetry series called 17 Poets. A dark smokey bar, one of the few "hip hop" clubs during the weekend. However, Thursdays it is poetry night.

Kelly Harris
Andrea Boll
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kelly Andrea began with something like a spoken word piece, "Back." It repeats the title over and over. She has a hip hop beat, partially. Following pieces:
"Name's Nigger"
"Oil On Us"
- a lot similar to "Back" repeating the title: Oil on us Oil on us Oil on us Oil on us.
"Five Years Later"
"Katrina Poetry"
-i liked this one. Katrina the storm as a character. A she, a her of course. If I have known anything about this city is was that she was a women.
"Michale's Second Line"
-glitter glove wannabes
Andrea Bole
She is a writer of multiple genres. It bothers me when readers at a poetry reading introduce themselves as not having written poetry in a long time and that she would be reading only old pieces.
Poems:
" The Cow"
"My Filthy God"
-Gilgamesh Poem
"Fire and Orgasms are Worth It"
Short Story Readings:
"Persephone"
-a great story about the daughter of Persephone.
