Mouth to Mouth Open Mic: featuring Brownstar and Jaed Coffin<\/p><\/div>\n

Alabama\u2019s got us so upset, Tennessee\u2019s made us lose our rest, and now everybody knows about Arizona! Spoken word duo Brownstar and memoirist Jaed Coffin, led by hosts Ed Lin and Jen Kwok, will perform in response to SB 1070 and The Workshop\u2019s WORDSTRIKE: Writers\u2019 Boycott of Arizona. Bring your stories of immigration to this last open mic of the summer. Proceeds will benefit organizations fighting SB 1070.<\/p>\n

BROWNSTAR (Pushkar Sharm…a and Sathya Sridharan) merges high-energy comedy, personal memoir, and science fiction to ignite a dialogue about the South Asian American experience. More about the spoken word duo at: BROWNSTARREVOLUTION.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Jaed Muncharoen Coffin is the author A Chant to Soothe Wild Elephants, a memoir which chronicles the time he spent as a Buddhist monk in his mother’s village in Thailand. His next book, Roughhouse Friday, is about the year he fought as the middleweight champion of an Alaskan barroom boxing circuit. From Brunswick, Maine, Jaed is currently the Wilson Fellow in Creative Writing at Deerfield Academy, and serves on the faculty of University of Southern Maine’s Stonecoast MFA.<\/p>\n
