And I heard 'em say....

"If you missed the Art is Bonfire event at the Pointe Sunday, you missed some great poetry and an inspiring evening around a pit fire. The freestyling to the beat of the congo and the acoustic guitar was amazing as poets, et.al. entered and exited to an invisible MC. The poem "Black Smoke" which was punctuated by the poet tossing a full page Tribune color photo edition of Obama's Grant Park coronation into the bonfire was the most arresting. Watching the flames lick away at Obama's visage was not easy or comfortable which was undoubtably the point. "Best performance by a spoken word artist" went to our own Tiffanie who held the group auditorally and visually captive three different times. Her tribute to the bonfire event sets her apart as the emerging spoken word artist to watch in Chicago. No doubt!"
