100 000 Poets for Change, Cape Town
The Change Within – Saturday September 24, 2011
Every voice has a tune. Every heart has a beat. And the world is large enough to hold all of us side by side drumming in unison and in cacophony. But what happens in the silence? What happens in the moments when the music of daily living dies down? When we lay down our instruments of questioning, building, fighting, creating, arguing, learning, debating and developing? Do we like what rings out from us in the silence…or do we run away from it?
100 000 Poets for Change is a global movement of poets across the world – from Brazil to Japan to Italy and America – are hosting events on Saturday September 24, to make their voices heard in calling for change. I Am Somebody! will host an event in Cape Town, looking at the change within each of us. What is required of each of us to bring about change? And, what change do we need to create within ourselves?
Join us, for an afternoon of poetry as emerging and established poets talk about The Change Within. For details, email Toni Stuart on tonistuart@gmail.com

THE SOUTH BEND POETRY PAGEANT THAT WILL CHANGE THE WORLD

the poets & observers are going to meet in front of o’shag at 5 PM. then we shall parade ourselves to the rad little dais up in the woods by the lake with some statues and cool lighting, where we will gather and have ourselves a poetry reading!

readers: please bring 1-2 poems, either of your own or by someone else, that you would read if asked, in the interview round of a Miss/Mr. Poetry Pageant: “How would you change the world?”

wear something spiffy. come listen to some poetry. flutter your lyric wings & change the world, butterfly-style.

PLEASE come. I will love you forever if you do. tell everyone you know!

Al Kotob Khan – which literally means The Book Shop – is not just a place where you can only shop for books, but it is a place for all those who love to be around books, and consider readings as a kind of a life style rather than just means of information …
For that particular reason, the owner and manager (Mrs. Karam Youssef) was very careful with all the details that help to provide a very intimate and cozy atmosphere for the customers of Al Kotob Khan … the WI FI internet connection, and the professional coffee corner, add the necessary touches so you can spend your time enjoying your favorite coffee while reading your favorite books.
Al Kotob Khan Book Shop opened on the 5th of May 2006 in Maadi area, with the intention of serving all Cairo and Egypt through its dynamic website, www.kotobkhan.com, where you can browse and search through more than 7000 different titles, chosen with a very careful research to cover all range of subjects.
So, whatever your interests might be – wither you like milestone of Modern Egyptian history, monumental and exploration of Ancient Egyptian history, Classic or modern literature, Poetry, exquisite decorative books, splendid art and illustrated books, beloved children’s books … – Al Kotob Khan offers an extraordinary collection of all kinds of books in different languages.
