Every year artists of all types get together to share their unique forms of creativity. This year the 8th annual Poetry, Prose and Acoustical Jam was held Feb. 24 at The Filling Station, a coffee shop on the Wayne College campus.
Performers are limited to about five minutes, just to make sure that everyone has a fair chance.
Other than that, the mic is open. Cookies and coffee were served, and while the neon signs illuminated the '50s style decor of The Filling Station, poets and musicians alike bared their souls through their art. The participants ranged from Wayne College students to much older singers. Kathleen Anderson, one of the performers, is the writing consultant for Wayne College. One of the publications in which her work can be found is The Akros Review.
