For immediate release, or relief if you so desire:

Tony Brown, Worcester-area poet and general lowlife, will be performing a suite of poems at the Java Hut, 1073-A Main Street, Worcester, MA on Sunday night, Sept. 24th.

Sez Brown, “These poems, once known as “The Jim Poems” but now titled “Jim’s Fall,” recount a story of suburban madness and desperation. I’ll be performing them to a live soundtrack created by an extraordinary bass player, Steven Cafaro (aka known as “Faro,” pronounced “Fah-row”).

We’ll have both a chapbook and a CD of the work available for purchase on Sunday night — chapbook is 6 dollars, CD is 7, and both for 10. Such a deal.”

Brown is the author of numerous chapbooks, is a monthly columnist for Gotpoetry.com ( http://www.gotpoetry.com ), and has published his work in several anthologies. Faro is a member of a number of bands including the band “Empathy.”

The Poets’s Asylum, the weekly reading at the Java Hut, kicks off with an open mike around 7:30. Feature will follow the open.
