This past Saturday saw the closing of a chapter in live entertainment and spoken word poetry in Newark. After a 3-year run in Newark at venues including Kilkenny Ale House, Solo(s) Project House, and finally Center Stage Cuts, the monthly spoken word and live entertainment series, LIVE & Direct came to an end. Produced and hosted by Newark poet “Starski” (also known as Tehsuan Glover…..see the connection?) LIVE & Direct has featured talent from Newark, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., St. Louis, and more. The final night saw spoken word juggernauts feature for a captivated audience. Here are photos and a few videos of some of the performances.
