London Open Mic Poetry Night -- June 5th, 2013, Mykonos Restaurant, London, Ontario. 

Cheryl Cashman read to uproarious applause before 40 poetry aficianados, in the final event of Season One. 

Cashman says her first love was always theatre, although she obtained a degree in English literature from the University of Ottawa. 

She says, "I have never published a book of poetry. My articles on theatre have been published by CTR- the Canadian equivalent of  TDR (the Tulane Drama Review). My poems and songs have been published in the bodies of my plays-not in a separate book. As such, they have  been professionally (Equity) produced and performed in major arts centres (including the National Arts Centre of Canada) across Canada and in New York city."

Kevin Heslop read to great applause. The 21-yr-old poet (his first poem written two years ago) had just returned from a week-long stay in Montreal, where he had finished reading Jack Kerouac’s ‘The Dharma Bums’. His production there was fourteen poems. He read several of them at this June 5th open mic, all with that distinctive Kerouac rhythm and sensibility, to wild applause. One highly excited person called for him to read them again, which he did with the last of the set. On the way to his seat he was stopped by several people who seemed to be asking for his autograph. No, they wanted his URL, where all his poems go.   http://thechainsmokingpoet.wordpress.com
