Poets, musicians and artists in 650 cities in 115 countries around the
world are planning individual events to take place simultaneously on and
about September 29th in a celebration of poetry, art and music to promote
social, environmental, and political change.
Along with championing World Peace and Environmental Sustainablity, the
Fifth Annual Beat Museum Poetry Festival will spotlight twotime-honored,
although often neglected and/or overlooked harbingers of change, namely,
Spirituality and Psychedelics. At the very heart of the Beat experience is
the Way, the Path and the Road of Beat Spirituality. There could have been
no Beat experience as it was known without its heartfelt and
desperate Spiritual Quest. Join us Saturday as we celebrate Beat
Spirituality! On Sunday, augmenting our superstar poets, we will feature
multimedia performances with a psychedelic theme or
influence–mind-expanding music, sounds, and lights! Join us Sunday as we
celebrate Psychedelia! And join us for Poetry, on both Saturday and
Sunday, that aspires to catalyze and manifest a better world for the
common good of all God’s children!
