Poets del la Mundo

We went to a poetry reading/jam Saturday night. What was neat was the fact that there were poets from all over the world, not just Costa Rica. Poets from Iraq (they called themselves Babelonians), Ireland, Cuba, Chile, Argentina, even the US. After the readings, floks were invited to read their own poetry or share some music or dance. There were these local fire dancers that I videoed. They have balls of plant material that absorbs a flammable fuel. The balls are tied to string or chains that they whip around themselves baton twirler style. Hey Aunt Shelly you should try this!

I'll get more details about the event.
