To begin the new 2009–2010 Spoken Word Series, DeBaun Center for Performing Arts and curator David Vincenti have chosen a wonderful artist to be featured on Sunday, September 13, 2009, at 3 p.m.—Deborah Ager. The Spoken Word Series,
co‐hosted by Siobhan Barry‐Bratcher and David Vincenti, is presented monthly at Symposia Bookstore, 510 Washington St.,
Hoboken, NJ.

Deborah Ager’s first book, Midnight Voices, was published in 2009. Her writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Best New Poets 2006, New South, and The Georgia Review. She’s received fellowships from the MacDowell Colony, the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation and is a 2009 Walter E. Dakin fellow at the Sewanee Writers’ Conference. She is founding editor of 32 Poems Magazine (www.32poems.com). Many poems first appearing in 32 Poems have been honored in the Best American Poetry and Best New Poets
anthologies and on Verse Daily and Poetry Daily. Blog: blog.32poems.com.

Deborah will read from her works and then the microphone will be open to the public to share their work. Although it is not necessary to pre‐register to attend the event, those interested in sharing their work during the open mic are asked to sign up at 2:45 p.m. Open mic participants are asked to limit their work to five minutes per person.

The Spoken Word Series takes place at Symposia Bookstore, 510 Washington St., Hoboken, NJ. Symposia is the only used bookstore in Hoboken and has great prices for used books, wireless Internet access and many events every week. This is the sixth year DeBaun Center for the Performing Arts and Symposia Bookstore have teamed up to co‐produce the Series. With each reading, more and more people are introduced to this wonderful bookshop and the work of many superb artists.
