Poetry Is Dead is a new, semi-annual poetry magazine filled with work from fantastical local poets dedicated to "poetry and the lack thereof". They publish any form of poem that is intriguing, hilarious, ridiculous, inspiring, timely, unfortunate or provocative, and the release of their first issue is happening this Sunday at Grace Gallery! Admission to the launch party gets you a copy of the mag, add a few bucks and get a yearly subscription. Here's their Facebook page, and their web site. See you there?
The official word:
Celebrate the Ridiculous and Provocative!
