This poem should be about my lungs / filled only with the names of men / who have given me entire worlds.
June 1, 2006
Poet Logan Phillips of Flagstaff, Arizona, on a 5 state, 8,000 mile spoken word tour, stopped into the newly re-named STORM THE TOWER coffeehouse, to feature at the Rubber Chicken Open Mic this past wednesday, May 31. Here's a bit about him from poet Suzy La Follette:
Logan Phillips writes from the most intricate and deeply set valve of his heart. His word are bilingual, binational and accessible to all. He breaks borders with his breath and rips down walls with words. His poetry melts cultures into people, languages into pure communication and races into humanity. He is the young voice of the southwest. His work is like no other in the poetry scene from style to subject matter he is perfectly unique. His performance is passionate as his words simply take him over. You will not be the same person after hearing him speak.
Suzy La Follette, 6th place finisher, 2003 National Poetry Slam
Though it was a small audience due primarily to college finals, they nonetheless enjoyed a great performance by Logan who gave it his all in what turned out to be his first visit to Monterey, and the Central Coast. He read poems about his time living on the US-Mexican border, and he spoke directly to the immigration issues facing the USA, and all nations. He's an energetic performer who gives his all when he's at the mic, and it was a pleasure to have him. We wish him all the best on this, and many other tours, as he pursues the life of a Poet, and we look forward to more wonderful poetry, and performances, from him.
