Rap + epic=Rapic?

Arts in Celebration poetry coordinator, Jerry Bradley, wants Carbondaleans to mark their calendars for 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 2, at Longbranch...to see and hear the author read from his "rap epic" poem, The Marliad about the Age of Shakespeare. Doesn't have much to do with Carbondale, but the author's from here. Plus, a short video documentary: Much Ado About Something, as shown on PBS Frontline, which features the author's theory. Promises to be an entertaining and educational event. There's a flyer.
