ATTENTION SPOKEN-WORD ARTISTS: This comes from the El Centro Su Teatro web site in Denver: “ ‘It's About The Word. Word Up!’ is the theme of the spring 2006 Neruda Poetry Festival. It flows like honey off a silver tongue, offering a $500 cash prize to the top spoken word artists in the region. Turning words into groceries! Reminiscent of ‘Flor y Canto’ (flowers and songs), El Centro continues a tradition that goes back to the Mayans and Toltecs.”
