The Restless Open crew, at Chateau le Woof  in Astoria Queens,  met with me to do a round table of poetry and discussion. We all agree that the mission of the Restless mic has been accomplished; if you want to define a good mic - remove the competitiveness and you'll get a genuine read.  Jesse Ludington, Jonathan Cherlin, Kainz Hossain AKA Khotic, and Joaquin Capehart read some of their best- here on Calliopes Corner.
