Robert E. Howard Days presents:

 The First Annual ROBERT E. HOWARD POETRY THROWDOWN!!!

Join fellow Howard Days attendees in the Pavilion at the Howard House on Friday the 13th (of June), after Leo Grin’s Cimmerian Awards presentations, for the First Annual Howard Days Poetry Throwdown.

Bring your Howard poetry and engage yourself in some poetry readings, or just listen to the entertainment that will demonstrate why Robert E. Howard’s poetry screams to be read aloud! And this all takes place in REH’s back yard! What better way to honor Howard’s legacy than by speaking his words outside the very window where they were written?! It doesn’t get much better than that!

Here’s what other poets are saying about Robert E. Howard’s poetry:

Walt Whitman, American Poet Emeritus: “Never heard of him. Besides, I’m dead.”  

Allen Ginsburg, Neal Cassady, Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, noted “Beat” poets: “Ol’ Two-Gun regularly kicks our collective asses when we have our own poetry throwdowns up on Crom’s mountain. He is, like, groovy, man!”  

Muhammad Ali, Pugilist and Poet: “Next to me, Bob Howard is the Greatest!”  

OPEN TO ALL – JUST GET UP AND READ! There may or may not be prizes involved in a number of categories we have yet to make up (Hey, Barbara Barrett just put this good idea out there, so I’m making up the rest of it as I go…) But start getting those vocal chords in shape – you want to be heard over the roar of the trucks on Highway 36!

Note: Some of REH’s poems may not be appropriate for women & children or the faint of heart, so please plan accordingly. REH Days assusmes no responsibility for any injuries incurred during the reading of REH poetry. And, as always, please – No Wagering! (Unless The Skipper or Barbara give you really good odds!)

SEE (AND LISTEN TO) YOU THERE!
