Every Tuesday at 7pm, the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf across from UNLV hosts Word UP!, a spoken word, open mic poetry reading for everyone!
On July 12, 2011, Word UP! held their 12th annual ladies night titled “Les Femmes Poetiques: Las Vegas Women’s Poetry Night 2011″. 12 ladies were given 10 minutes to deliver their poetry to a packed room of poetry-loving patrons. The readers were:
Rosie Vitavec
Helen Gerth
Janai “Jai Walk” Walker (janarlist.wordpress.com)
Tara “Dream Writer” Phillips
De’Anna Ernst
Lana Rifkin
Krystle “Kismet” Wilson
Megan Milligan
Raya “Free Shine” Shane Bier
Kari O’Connor (www.karinotvery.net)

I also made a video slideshow from the pictures and using a beat from my good friend Jordan (jordansaweirdo.bandcamp.com and twitter.com/jordansaweirdo)
