Featuring local poet Patrick Hare
Celebrate national poetry month in style with valley poet extrordinaire Patrick Hare. He was a member of 3 Mesa National Poetry Slam Teams. He produced the live DVD recording "Patrick Hare Hates You". He has featured across the valley many times and has hosted more poetry than he'll ever admit to a congressional subcommittee.
Patrick Hare is the king of poetic sarcasm, Poems like "(Let's Extinguish) The Sun", "Dale Carnegie on Crack" and "Some People" have proven for years that humor has a revered place within the performance poetry arena. As a poet for the oppressed corporate cog long before there was "The Office", Patrick sees and finds the humor and irony in abundance in the the world around him, and he's not afraid to inflict in on you.
Patrick's Feature starts at 8PM, and you are welcome to sign up for the open mic after.
