Featuring Marc Marcel as a special guest poet. Competitors are asked to bring at least one poem for competition addressing an area where they feel change is needed.
Living Game Board Demonstration Friday, September 23rd
6 pm to 7 pm
We will be gathering at the Civic Plaza to create a massive chessboard, and filling it with poets and performers. These poets will read poetry in response to the issues and causes that they specifically want to see sustainable change happen for. We will be creating the visual metaphor of the ways in which legislation is passed without our vote, without our consent and in some cases without our knowledge.
Acequia Book Sellers
10:20 am to 5 pm
Acequia Booksellers is hosting an OPEN HOUSE/DROP-IN event highlighting recordings of songwriters, musicians and speakers for social change from the 1930′s on. The event will take place during bookstore hours (10:30-5:00) on Sat. Sept. 24. The impromptu program will include recordings by singers such as Phil Ochs, Woody Guthrie and U. Utah Phillips, as well as speakers like Noam Chomsky. Acequia Booksellers has the best poetry section in New Mexico. Drop by and check us out.
24 Hour Drum Circle
10 am to 10
Drummmers from all walks will join us in creating a non-stop 24 hour drum circle with the Kosmic Trading Post acting as the heart and the drums creating the pulse, the vibrant resonance that reminds us that as long as life goes on, positive growth and sustainable change are possible.
Workshops
10 am to 5 pm
Poets will partner with members of various social change organizations and non-profit groups with a mission to create change in the world. Workshops will be held at the Projects. Presenters from the organizations will speak to the specific challenges and the needs and poets will lead writing prompts in response to these issues, creating a new social dialogue and bringing necessary knowledge to the table.
Candlelight Reading
7 to 9 pm
Poets and musicians will come together for a free concert, bringing together the community in a night of powerful verse and uplifting, conscious music. Presenters from non-profit and social change organizations will speak briefly, offering insight into the struggles, knowledge and hope. After the readings, everyone in attendance will be asked to hold up a candle for a moment of silence in reflection of all the bright lights we’ve lost to wars, genocide, homelessness, violence, drug addiction and more. The causes and issues are many, but so are the hearts and hopes of those who will join us for this event!
Tewa Women United Gathering for Mother Earth Reading
The Tewa Women United will include a reading around the sacred fire as part of the 100 Thousand Poets for Change project.

I am challenging the people of Victoria to geurilla poem one another on September 24 and forever after, to write poems in icing on cakes, to chalk sidewalks, to leave poems in pockets, to paint or embroider their clothing with activist poems, to call into radio shows and read poems that encourage positive change, to make poem cards for those we love and admire. All activist poets will be designated honorary assistant poet laureates at The Well on September 24. 7:00pm – 10:00pm.

BACKWORDS AND FORWORD
In the beginning, there was a world
that needed a word and the word
was go(o)d, master of the unbroken
universe, mother of the wheel that
breaks like the poet who sings in his
change like the sea, like children
with begging bowls, begging for new
words to plant in the garden of
good and evil. This is the dialectic
of smash and fix, beautiful verbs;
dirty blood filtered through kidneys,
dirty air wet-cleaned in forests, dirty
deeds transformed by alchemists,
dirty water washing stars, our
clean windows on the firmament,
deaf composers listening with their fingers,
children thinking backword and forword.
This is change as simple as breathing.
Expired, the soul has weight and we
rediscover the lightness of being, only
twenty-one grams: our holy vocation
to catch and release its mysteries
as the river runs through us, revealing
the word that is love made visible.
In Byzantium, the words for change
are bozuk para, meaning broken money,
and nothing is lost in translation.
Long ago and far away, only hungry
beggars would touch these fractured
alms, but now that we’ve cracked
the world, an enigma engine that
drives itself, everything broken is
holy and we get to pay it forward.
Linda Rogers-Victoria Poet Laureate

650 grassroots poetic events in 455 cities and 95 countries will take place on September 24th to promote environmental, social and political change within the framework of peace and stability. Thailand’s celebration of “100 THOUSAND POETS FOR CHANGE” features gifted favorite son Zakariya Amataya, a native of Bacho District in Narathiwat Province. He is the first Thai Muslim recipient of the South East Asian Writers Award and was the unanimous choice of the jury, who called his non-traditional free verse work “borderless, transcending time and space.” Zakariya has been dubbed a Ginsberg-inspired Sunni hipster poet who suggests: “I am traveling in poetry, Poetry is traveling in me; We are heading to the same destination.”
His adoration for the Beat Generation, Sufi mysticism and French surrealists is reflected by his eclectic choices of respected mentors: Charles Baudelaire, Gregory Corso, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Arthur Rimbaud. Zakariya’s parents and sisters still reside on their humble rubber plantation and although he thinks and writes primarily in Thai, his native language is not Thai but Rumi/Malay, the indigenous first language of the troubled deep South border provinces. He is also fluent in Yawi/Arabic. Many of his poems reflect the turmoil and strife of the region along with the desire for community-based recognition of participatory autonomy.
Some English translation examples:
“I hear peace sobbing
And shouting that resonates
Along sundry roads,
Around the city clock tower,
On dinner tables, in tea shops.”
The Missing
“There must be something in this universe
That has strayed from the dimension of time
Something Columbus and Ulysses missed in their exploration
Something the world’s prophets forgot to preach
Something that vanished between
The black holes of space.”
Epitaph for My Beloved Sidi
“I brewed my hundredth cup of coffee
Lit my thousandth cigarette
The sound of war drums rapidly pounding
The era – the Age of Killing
My cherished motherland,
Gone, vanquished again.”
Dr. Charles Frederickson
(Thailand event organizer)
