On Sunday, January 25, at 2 PM, The Green Line Café on Locust
will present an open poetry reading to honor the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, editors and staff who were killed in Paris.
In the spirit of Charlie Hebdo, this will be a reading
of humorous and satirical poems.
The poems may be on any subject, including political content.
You may read original work or the work of another poet.
The Green Line Poetry Series extends its solidarity
and deep sympathy to the brave members of Charlie Hebdo
and to the people of Paris.
Please join us.
Reserve a place among the list of readers by contacting
Leonard Gontarek at gontarek9@earthlink.net or 215-808-9507.
The Green Line Café on Locust is located at 45th & Locust Streets
(southeast corner) in West Philadelphia.
Well, I hope the substance over form prevails. You know -- as I've read elsewhere, perhaps at your site, so this is not an original idea -- Charlie Hebdo would never be permitted to exist and publish as a campus publication at most American universities; that says volumes about Americans' endorsement of freedom of speech and our American culture's preoccupation with political correctness.
