TONIGHT!! (Thursday January 26th) The Oakland Poetry Slam & Open-Mic
continues our 2012 season in revolutionary style. We're thrilled to to
present world renowned poet / activist and Prayers For Atheists front
man Jared Paul!
As a performer Jared has performed internationally in over 200 cities
throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe alongside legendary
poets, musicians, journalists, and speakers such as Amy Goodman, Saul
Williams, Sage Francis, Raine Maida (of Our Lady Peace), Paul Hawken,
Jello Biafra, Immortal Technique, Anti-Flag, The Misfits and many
others, Jared is widely recognized as one of the premiere performance
poets in the world. His work has been featured on the Canadian
Broadcast Company program, “Zed TV,” as well as in CMJ Magazine and
The Providence Journal. Jared is a two time Individual World Poetry
Slam Finalist and was a featured poet at the Greenbuild 2007
International Conference & Expo. He was a guest performer for the Post
Secret national book tour, and the headlining act for the 2009 Karl
Wilhelm Diefenbach grand opening at the nationally acclaimed Villa
Stuck gallery in Munich, Germany.
As An Activist...
With over a decade of anti-war/animal rights/environmental protection
organizing and a storied career laden with protest arrests, Jared Paul
has become somewhat of a modern folk hero within the underground
American counter-culture. His most notable run-in with the law
happened during the 2008 Republican National Convention, where Jared
was the victim of a mass arbitrary arrest. Fans and supporters jumped
to action, creating a fundraiser via www.ConspiracyToRiot.com, from
which an attorney was hired and the case was eventually dropped. His
"Conspiracy To Riot" creative non-fiction series was published by the
quarterly Providence periodical “The Agenda” and Strange Famous
Records. These days, when he's not touring with his poetry or band
Jared can be found at Burnside Park where he's busy working with
Occupy Portland.
As always we'll start the show with the patented WIDE-Open-Mic
(singers, comics, MCs welcome). If you wanna rep The Bay at The
National Poetry Slam in August in Charlotte this is where you go to
qualify.

Featuring Providence RI's Jared Paul!
