Yesterday’s Valentine’s Day-After Poetry Reading was a good time. Approximately 120% of the people who attended baked brownies or brownie-related desserts and they were all delectable.
Now for something more sinister.
This Friday evening, at around 7 p.m., we’re having our first Revenge Poetry Fancy-Dress Tea Party. It will be held in Philadelphia, and for the address you should email me (Sarah) at sskochko@camden.rutgers.edu.
We will be dressing fancy just for the hell of it; that means ball gowns and tuxes, or at least a top hat and monocle like Mr. Peanut. (If you don’t have fancy clothes, that’s fine! Come in a t-shirt and jeans and we’ll provide you with a top hat and monocle when you arrive.)
We will be drinking tea. If you have a favorite tea, bring it. If you want to bring food, we will eat it. (Warning: Jessica already has the tiny cucumber sandwiches covered.)
Most importantly, we will be reading revenge poetry. Your revenge poetry should have three characteristics:
1. It should be funny.
2. It should be vengeful.
3. It should be funny.
Note that it does not have to be good. And if you don’t have any revenge poetry, that’s fine! You can listen to ours, or write some when you get here and receive your monocle.
R.S.V.P. to sskochko@camden.rutgers.edu.
