© prairiesongs.com “…Naked Words is where you will find a spirit which cried out at cruelties painted in sharp words;  where gorgon monsters roamed amongst Welsh bards who leaned in shadow against stone  monoliths; a spirit which tripped from Romany tongues and cloaked story-tellers who told stories of  Danish kings and birds born from the ashes of their ancestors.    All this….and it’s in the center of Omaha. Begin here - because it’s where all poets should be born.  This is what poetry should be.”   — Ian Barker,       Omaha poet.  “Poetry, Frivolty, the Occasional Pop-Tart”. Hosted by Heidi Hermanson Held on the first Wednesday of every month  from 6pm to 8pm at:  Soul Desires, 1026 Jackson Street  Omaha, NE 68102-2823 Photo by Heidi Hermanson The next Naked Words will be on NW is currently on hiatus
