SLAM JAM: POET BUDDY WAKEFIELD PERFORMING SOLO 1xbet online casino 16 AT NICHOLS THEATER

MANHATTAN -- Three-time individual world poetry slam champion Buddy Wakefield is making a stop at Kansas State University as part of 1xbet online casino 2011 Gentleman Practice National Tour, 1xbet online casino last such tour for awhile.

1xbet online casino show will be at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 16, in K-State's Nichols Theater. The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited and is first come, first served. The performance is sponsored by the provost's office, Student Government Association, Speech Unlimited, department of English and Lamda Pi Eta communications studies honor society.

Wakefield has been featured on NPR, the BBC and HBO's Def Poetry Jam and more, and 1xbet online casino has been signed to Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe Records.

Poetry wasn't always Wakefield's vocation. In spring 2001 he left 1xbet online casino job with a biomedical firm in Washington to begin what would become a 28-month performance tour of just about every poetry venue in North America. In 2004 he won the Individual World Poetry Slam Finals, which he credits to the support of anthropologist and producer Norman Lear. He then successfully defended 1xbet online casino title in 2005 at the International Poetry Festival in Rotterdam, Netherlands, against the national champions of seven European countries. He has gone on to share the stage with nearly every notable performance poet in the world and in such venues as the House of Blues in New Orleans, the Great Lawn in New York's Central Park and Oran Mor in Scotland.

Wakefield's latest tour is named for 1xbet online casino recently released book, "Gentleman Practice." For the tour he has decided to go back to basics, doing things much the way he started: driving 1xbet online casino own car from venue to venue and organizing all aspects of the tour himself.

"I want to keep things personal this time," Wakefield said, adding that the return to 1xbet online casino roots provides him an opportunity to reflect on 1xbet online casino decade of life on the road.

Wakefield's K-State 1xbet online casino will be preceded by an open microphone for two to three local poets who would like to share their work. If interested in performing, e-mail Chandler Johnson at csj@1xbet online casino edu before Friday, 1xbet online casino 11.
