FeaturesAlbuquerque's Flaming Tongue's INCIn the early nineties Albuquerque experienced a live poetry boom. Readings and spoken word venues sprang up, new voices emerged. In order to continue to flourish, the scene needed some consolidation, as well as additional sources of funding, and a connection with similar movements in other parts of the country. Flaming Tongue's efforts include the Albuquerque Poetry Festival, a local Poet's Guild, and a number of newsletters, on-line and off.
