Joe Allen Junior "Joetry" Featured poet for November (11/19 one week earlier!)

Don't forget, due to Thanksgiving we will be meeting one week earlier than usual this month, Thursday, November 19th!!!

Joe Louis Allen Jr., a poet who reveals the truth about life through his experiences and uncensored eyes. Just reaching a milestone of 17 years alive, after being declared clinically dead for 14 minutes on 10/24/98, Joe continues to show progression in his life by adding credentials not thought of back then. Following his first book "Progression", Joe has become a certified recovery coach, a certified CPR/First Aid trainer, as well as being a credentialed alcohol and substance abuse counselor. Joe uses his degree from the streets, combined with common sense, to exhibit a style of poetry that races to the heart and the mind.

Joe is following his life's work with his soon to be published second book, "Still Breathing".

Joe is a charter member of Ken Siegelman's Brooklyn Poetry Outreach, and a riveting poet of the people. Please come down and bring a poem or two to share with us after Joe's reading.

And while you are here, please support our event by buying books, and don't forget to let your cashier know you came to Barnes & Noble for Ken Siegelman's Brooklyn Poetry Outreach's event!
